edna Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 Here we have a little discussion about a picture on a compilation CD of Donovan. You can see Donovan, Mia Farrow, three Beatles and Maharishi. Somebody on the pic (between Donovan and Mia Farrow) has been erased, you can easily see it´s been photoshopped or something. I have the same picture on a book and I can´t say who the guy is. I know, I should post the picture but, I´ll say it again, my books and things are still packed untill I move definitely, scanner inc. I´ve heard something about Terry Melcher being there by that time...I´m also told that due to a strange relation between Melcher and Charles Manson (he refused to release Manson´s songs, or something like that), the son of Dorys Day was somehow not-wellcome among the beautifull people. Anybody knows something about this?
Uncle Joe Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 I seem to recall that Melcher was marked for murder by Manson but was not at home when the killers came calling. Wasn't there also something about Manson finding girls for Melcher? It was so long ago but I remember those two things being written (tho true or not I don't know).
edna Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Posted October 13, 2004 Yes, same thing happens to me, I read it when it happened... or was it the Polanskis were living in the house where Melcher lived the month before... I know there is some relation between the whole affair and Melcher and the Beatles... not only Helter Skelter-Pigs... anyway, if anyone has more info, thanks! Thank you, Uncle Joe!
MelP Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 Mike Love of the Beach Boys was also there at that time. It could have been him in the photo.
edna Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Posted October 14, 2004 I thought of some Beach Boy but I was wondering why they erased his face... it must be because the guy who put the names down the pic didn´t know who he was... Thank you MelP!
Uncle Joe Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 edna, quite possibly the publisher of the photo was unable to secure a release from the subject in the photo permitting it's use. Therefore, air-brush.
Uncle Joe Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 edna, I just came across this and thought you might be interested.... Donovan at WorldCafeLive
edna Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Posted October 14, 2004 Thanks, GranPa! There´s few things about him in the web... I knew about his children, that´s all. Actually it´s my husband who was a fan in his younger days.
Pat james Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 The missing face is more then likly Brian Wilson.I have a live album by Donovan and he name checks the people that he spent some time with in India while doing Hurdy GurdyMan
