Men At Work... strictly rumor type stuff

Posted over 5 years ago
I'm always blown away when I hear about some celebrity, pseudo-celebrity, past celebrity, who lives in Montana. Before I moved here I had no clue about Montana, but apparently a lot of different people live here either full-time or part-time.My friend Chris, who owns and runs "Morning Glory Coffee and Tea":http://www.morningglorycoffee.net was telling me about how he was up in Livingston a week or so ago. There's a bar there, I forget the name of it now, and the guitar player for Men At Work was in there. This guy lives there in Livingston. He's broke as hell. I don't remember if Chris told me how this guy wound up in Livingston, but I guess he's more or less stuck there. He has piles of music that he's recorded and was ranting about how he's going to be famous again. Occasionally other musicians drop by and jam in this guys basement.Just looked on Wiki. Ron Strykert.

    ebuzzmiller says wait...it gets worse (from www.bmusic.com/au): "The story of guitarist Ron Strykert is a ripper. He is still friendly with Hay and Ham but he's been pursuing an all-together different style of music and lifestyle. To begin with, Strykert is a member of the Church Universal and Triumphant, www.cut.org. According to their rave they are "the sponsored by the ascended masters Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, the church embodies principles, practices and rituals that are based on the essential truths found at the heart of all faiths. It is a church where Eastern and Western spirituality converge. The mystical paths of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Taoism and Confucianism are infused with new revelations from the ascended masters. Devotees combine these traditions in the practice of the science of the spoken word by intoning the AUM, praying the Our Father, giving devotions to the Divine Mother and joining in prayers for world conditions". But there's more to it than that. Through the CUT's 'Summit Lighthouse' they publish way-out books about all sorts of stuff, one of which inspired Ron Strykert into his new musical style. His stuff is new age, incorporating instruments such as bajans, sanskit and tablas. He has recorded an album titled 'Paradise' but is "waiting for financial backing" to release it. And he hasn't stopped there, he's writing a book of his own. Here's the spiel, "...the powers of music and what it can do for our planet. Ron has found that some kinds of sounds like bird calls & crickets can help plants grow faster..."
