Our next performer
is well known
for three things,
and I bet you,
you can’t guess
what they are.
He has good vibrations.
He popularized surfing
in the USA.
And he gets around,
round, round.
He gets around. (Yes.)
Al Jardine is
a founding member of one
of the most well-known
and most loved band
of all times,
The Beach Boys.
Yes!
He is an American icon,
and the music
of this band still resonates.
There he is!
Thank you, thank you.
Yes, the music of that band
still resonates
in the minds and heart of
millions of fans worldwide.
So people,
Al, the guy in the middle,
provided
the harmony vocals and
was the guitarist, of course,
for The Beach Boys.
(Thanks for coming, guys.)
Singing lead on songs
such as “Help me Ronda”…
No, no, no, no,
you have to sing it.
No, I’ll leave that to you,
my darling.
“California Saga,”
“Vegetables,”
“Transcendental
Meditation,”
many, many others.
This outstanding group
has been awarded
the Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award,
and Al was also inducted
into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame.
For this evening’s
performance,
Al will be performing
three pieces for us.
The first is
his original composition
adapted from
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
own poem,
“Eternal Ballad.”
Again? My God.
His second number
will be “Surfer Girl,”
with music and lyrics
by Brian Wilson.
And finally,
he will perform “Kokomo,”
with music and lyrics
by John Phillips,
Scott McKenzie,
Mike Love
and Terry Melcher.
Al Jardine
will be lead vocalist
accompanied by his sons,
Matt and Adam.
Take it away, boys.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Greetings to the God within!
Well, we are indeed
happy to be here tonight.
Supreme Master,
it’s very gracious of you.
And we have chosen
to sing for you, one of
our favorite poems,
called “The Eternal Ballad,”
which is just a gorgeous
poem, and very deep,
intellectually deep
and spiritually deep poem
that we’ve put to music.
And my two sons,
Matthew and Adam,
are going to be my
background singers, and
it’s going to be beautiful.
(Thank you.) And then
I would like to do
a couple of more familiar,
maybe some
contemporary songs,
by The Beach Boys.
And we just selected
a couple of random tunes
for you.
I hope you like them.
In my dream
You came to me,
Whispering love
Eternally
Whispering love
Eternally.
In my dream
You came to me
Me-mo-ry
When time was young
And life took wings
Beyond heaven!
Me-mo-ry
When time was young
And life took wings
And my heart sang
Golden time!...
Of longing pine
For the Home
We've left behind
For the Home
We've left behind
In my dream
The soul's so bright
The thousands suns
Adorn the sky
The trillion stars
Light the milky way!
The trillion stars
Light up the night.
Golden time!...
Of longing pine
For the Home
We've left behind
For the Home
We've left behind
We've left behind
We've left behind
We've left behind
Thank you so much,
I hope you like it.
(Thank you, thank you.)
Alright.
It’s a beautiful poem.
I love the concept
of the Milky Way,
the trillion stars
light up the night.
It’s just beautiful.
Thank you.
Well done.
Thank you.
Well done.
I am glad you like it,
and I am very honored.
Yes, these are
her original lyrics,
I want you all to know.
These are
very, very beautiful lyrics.
I am honored
that you like it.
And deserves
a nice around of applause,
I think, yes, indeed, yes.
Bravo! Bravo!
Now, The Beach Boys
recorded a song years ago,
about a little surfer girl
thatkind of
encapsulated the sound
of The Beach Boys in
their beautiful harmonies.
And I’d like to do that
for you now as well.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
One, two, three.
Little surfer little one
Made my heart
come all undone
Do you love me,
do you surfer girl
Surfer girl,
my little surfer girl
I have watched you
on the shore
Standing by
the ocean's roar
Do you love me,
do you surfer girl
Surfer girl, surfer girl
We could ride the surf
together
While our love would grow
In my woody
I would take you,
everywhere I go
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams
come true
Do you love me,
do you surfer girl
Surfer girl,
my little surfer girl
Little Girl surfer girl
my little surfer girl
Little Girl surfer girl,
my little surfer girl
Thank you,
thank you very much.
Thank you.
There is a little
Latin American tune
that we did.
It has a nice rhythm to it.
It reminds us of this area
here in the world,
where the ecology is
so beautiful and unspoiled.
And we would like to do
that for you now I think.
It’s called “Kokomo,”
and it’s in a fictitious island
in our dreams
that we want to go to
when we want
to get away from it all.
That’s in this area!
Yes, as a matter of fact,
it probably is.
Aruba, Jamaica
I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama
come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
Off the Florida Keys
There's a place
called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drinks
melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm
of a steel drum band
Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica
I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama
come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
Down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
To Martinique,
that Monserrat mystique
We'll move out to sea
We'll
perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy
a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight…
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look
in your eye
Gives me
a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica
I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama,
come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
I wanna take you
down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
Well, that’s it. That’s it.
That’s it, that’s about as…
Halo! Hey! All right!
We… I got one more
for you though.
You want to try?
For my vegetarian
friends out there,
we’d like to
dedicate this to you.
My friend Paul McCartney
a long time ago, came to
our recording studio.
And he is a vegetarian,
you know.
And he helped me,
he produced this song
for The Beach Boys,
I should say.
And so I’d like to do it
for you because
it’s kind of cute.
Please!
I think you’ll like this.
I’ll bet this will be
the first song ever
written about a vegetable!
I'm gonna be round
my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down
my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vegetable
Oh, take a vego
If you brought a big
brown bag of them home
I'd jump up and down
and hope
you'd toss me a carrot
I'm gonna keep well
my vegetables
Cart off and
sell my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vegetable
Table vego
I tried to kick the ball
but my tenny
flew right off
I'm red as a beet 'cause
I'm so embarrassed
I tried to kick that ball
but my tenny flew right off
I'm red as a beet 'cause
I'm so embarrassed
I know that you'll feel better
When you send us
in your letter
And tell us
the name of your
Your favorite vegetable
I know that you'll feel better
When you send us
in your letter
And tell us
the name of your
Your favorite vegetable
There you go!
All right for all of you
vegans out there.
That was a bonus track.
I knew you’d like it!
We love you! We love you!
We love you! We love you!
We love you! We love you!
We love you! We love you!
God bless you, Al!
(Thank you guys.
Thank you.)
Al Jardine.
Wasn’t that amazing?
Yes!
I love these guys!
What’s really extraordinary
is that Lionel and I
came here,
we did not meet each other
before this conference,
but having been here
for the past couple of days
together…
An added benefit of
of coming and sharing
our time with you,
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
is that we’ve met
other people of like mind
and have become
very good friends.
So now I’m
looking around the room,
I see a lot of people that
I feel are like family now.
And Al Jardine is
one of them. (Yes.)
I think she just appeared
from the celestial dream.
(She beamed down
celestially.) Welcome.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for being here.
They told me that
our Association Members
just come in between
the great programs.
You know
like the Korean dance,
or the Chinese harp, etc.
We are the between people,
just like here, we are
the between in Cancún.
We are no one
and we are someone.
We’re nobody, and yet
we’re doing something.
Like that.
So, please,
don’t be surprised if
there is no introduction,
all right? And just enjoy!
This is one of
our Association members
from China,
if you would like to know.
They’re all beautiful
like that in China. Yes.
And Taiwan (Formosa),
and Hong Kong,
you know, wherever
the Chinese people are,
they’re like that, okay?
Now, you look at
one sample.
So, please do visit China,
Taiwan (Formosa),
Singapore,
Malaysia, etc. Go ahead!
I know you can
clap forever because
they are really beautiful,
but I want to tell you,
do you recognize them?
They pass on the flyers
on the street in front of
the (Cancún) Messe.
All of them,
whoever comes,
they are doing
all kinds of job.
I told you,
we are in between people.
We are the shadows.
So that’s why
you don’t recognize them.
They are beautiful, no?
It’s Chinese. Okay?
One Chinese,
one Taiwanese (Formsan).
They are all Chinese.
I love them so much.
They are so devoted.
I’m really humbled by
their sincerity and devotion.
If everyone works like that
we have world peace
in yesterday.
That beautiful delicate
melody reminds us of
the delicacy of the world
in which we live.
It resonates with the fact
that we are custodians
of our planet
and it is a delicate place.
We all share a role
in preserving it.
Just lovely.
And of course
the melodies,
Supreme Master,
just gorgeous,
thank you so much.
The beautiful melodies
that you just heard
were written off of
Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s poems.
The first one was
“I Will Forever Love You”,
which was originally
in English, and
the second was originally
in Aulacese (Vietnamese).
And that was
really quite beautiful,
so thank you again
for your contribution.
Off the Florida Keys
There's a place
called Kokomo
It’s quite diverse and
amazing and I must say,
it’s very impressive that
this was all put together
in a matter of days.
We have a song
called “Vegetables.”
We performed
that song this evening
for Master Ching Hai.
Matthew starts tapping
on his little glass,
because it’s
a little novelty song
that enlivens the senses
really and it’s cheerful,
you know.
And it’s about
enjoying your vegetables
and being healthy.
And I saw her face
light up out there
and then she started tapping
a glass or something.
You know everybody
participates that way
and I think it really,
it was the perfect place
to showcase that song.
Your favorite vegetable
It’s just a beautiful lyric.
It’s very expansive.
We looked at
many of the poems
and we thought this one
would fit our style best,
because it has rhyme,
it has meter.
And it’s very profound,
really. I mean
there’re not many songs
about the Milky Way,
and the stars.
And you know,
I like those kind of songs.
This turned into
a beautiful ballad, I think.
And it’s called
the “Eternal Ballad,”
so it really works.
We've left behind
We've left behind
It has been
an amazing event,
and I didn’t know
this organization before
and I think
it’s extraordinary.
Congratulations.
I think the message behind
is completely correct.
If we want
to change the planet
we have to
first change ourselves.
And definitely food is
the number one (way)
we can do, all of us.
And I’ve been a vegetarian
all my life,
so I completely agree
with this.
I think this is
how we’re going to solve
the climate problem.
You know, we can solve
a little bit in negotiations,
but much of it is really
going to happen just
through all the interaction
of many of the people
of goodwill
who’ve come together
from countries
around the world.
And tonight
we saw much of that
in this wonderful gathering
that happened here, really
bringing people together.
Looking at
the importance of food
as part of the solution
to climate change.
And our habits that we have
and the care that we take
for the planet
and for other beings.
In Florida,
there is pig farming,
they have these
pig culture places.
And it’s
poisoning the waters
for the manatees down
in the Florida area,
they found the toxicity
in the water.
I’m really glad I came
and I benefited so much.
I’m beginning
to see a different angle
as to vegan,
and it’s something
that’s worth looking into
definitely.
If you become a vegetarian,
you will not suffer.
You will only have
a proper diet
that improves your health
and your lifestyle.
And we help the world.
Actually,
I found it very interesting,
the event was perfect.
One more hero!
I was about
85% vegetarian.
About a month ago
when I went and spoke
to a meeting in London
and I guess I’ve now
become a 100% vegetarian.
My children have
all been vegetarian
for the last 25 years, and
you know, they’re healthy.
My son is a triathlete
and I think that
what we saw tonight
with many of the people
who’ve been active in this
is that their health
certainly has not suffered
and they look
remarkably healthy.
And I think that not only
the health of the planet
could benefit,
but also people’s
personal health,
their hearts and so on.
And just how
they feel about themselves
is also important
and advanced by this.
This decision
to change the world is
in the hands of all of us.
Because even if
the leaders take decisions,
if we don’t follow,
if we don’t change
our life habits,
our everyday habits
on how we use energy,
on how use food,
on what footprint
we leave on the planet.
So it’s a collective action,
that’s the beautiful thing
about making this change
in humanity.
It depends on all of us.
I’ve been working on
environmental education
all my life, and I
very much appreciate this,
and I’m very impressed
by her, Master.
I think it’s incredible
how such a small woman,
tiny woman
can have such an energy
to move all this.
And I want to thank her,
and all the organization.
Be Veg,
Go Green
2 Save the Planet!
Thank you

Television’s

“The Greenest Heroes Gala.”

March 8 for part 4
of this meaningful event.
Words of Wisdom
