I’ve also met Jon Anderson. The rest of the band was waiting for him and I was waiting to talk with him as two other people were talking with him, so we didn’t have much of a conversation. But I did get a chance to ask a question that was most important to me, considering his spiritual lyrics. I asked; “Do you meditate?” He answered quite concisely; “The mind is very difficult to control.” So I assumed he meant that he has taken various stabs at it. To what extent I do not know. The mind really can not be controlled; Rather the best way to accomplish anything with the mind is to let it go of its own accord while practicing meditation.
How did you get backstage? It was impossible to do this when I saw them live.
