Around Town
David Lynch, and Donovan. Together at last. If your mind hasn't blown itself yet. try throwing
some transcendental meditation into the mix. No, not a strange Twin Peaks spoof. Lynch actually will be speaking in Edinburgh and Glasgow this fortnight, in aid of the splendidly-titted David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness, which promotes transcendental meditation‘s health and creativity-enhancing powers in school children. He’ll also be answering questions about his films. after which Donovan, musical ambassador for the Foundation, will give a live concert of all his hits from the 19603 and 19705. No, we’re still not entirely sure what's going on, but we think we kind of want to see this for ourselves . . . (Kirstin lnnes)
