Frasi di Eden Ahbez

Eden Ahbez, nato George Alexander Aberle , è stato un compositore, cantante e musicista statunitense, il quale lavorò negli anni quaranta e sessanta e il suo stile di vita influenzò la cultura hippie.

Ahbez scrisse la canzone Nature Boy per Nat King Cole, il quale salì al primo posto nelle classifiche per otto settimane nel 1948.

Vivendo una vita pastorale dall'inizio alla fine degli anni quaranta, viaggiò indossando sandali e una toga bianca e portando barba e capelli lunghi. Si accampò sotto la prima L dell'Insegna di Hollywood sopra Los Angeles, studiò misticismo orientale e raccontò di aver vissuto con tre dollari a settimana, dormendo all'aria aperta con la sua famiglia, e mangiando frutta e verdura.

Is just to love and be loved in return."
