 BIOGRAPHY

Crispian met up with the rest of the band and they blagged into the Krishna tent in the Glastonbury Green Field, where they subjected a mantra-beffuddled gathering to an hour of distorted acid rock (including current live favourite 'Govinda').

Crispian's mysticism is not some form of solidarity with the marginal, esoteric, or a minority religion, but is instead an opportunist cashing-in that steers dangerously close to support for a quite pernicious form of Hindutva right-wing cultural politics.4 Relativism and cultural sensitivity sometimes plays with such fire.
Crispian says he doesn't know why it's done or why the Brahmin says he needs it, but afterwards - well, after an edit cut away to Crispian on his own outside the temple - he explains it's a "third eye" and that it's the sun, just set, on his forehead.
