Tom Amarque and Andrew Sweeny invited him to The Parallax View to talk about "excess and absence", two core concepts of Ebert that interweave music and metaphysics and are entry-points to his worldview. Do it up.

Most Gurus wouldn’t admit to having started a cult. Imagine Osho apologising for creating his cult in Oregon, where his students practised actual bio-terrorism! Impossible to conceive of!
