What might have been lost - don't bother me

Have you ever felt all your sensations driven from your appendages to your ears, 
have you ever felt your whole life coalescing on the crest of a yell, a note, a shrill cry from a silver flute?

Last night we were driven from the twilight of desert landscapes slowly to the brink of a murky reverb-laden cliff, by two nomadic plaid-dressed musicians, only to swim down below in the tumultuous swedish waters, wave after wave crashing against our eardrums, sending us into a crazed bliss. Respite was offered in small doses of melodic beauty, cocooning us in warm lyrics spoken in an unfamiliar tongue, only to be deconstructed quickly by spiraling, down-right venomous jamming.

We came in a haze to see you play your songs, you left us not buddhists, but most certainly enlightened and resolutely content. 

I want to be on a mountaintop,
with a radio and good batteries

Speak for yourself, I left quite plump and with millions of Indian followers--much like the young, bearded Indian featured in your imaginary post of yesteryear.

Indians are not all buddhist you bigot
or plump

Do you mean to say that there is a difference between Buddhism and Hinduism? That's like saying there's a difference between the elephants and donkeys south of the border.
