"How Many Lifetimes?" PR Release

John Marc DeMatteis is one of the best-known and most respected writers in the comic book world, with work ranging from classic Marvel and DC super-heroes like Spider-Man, Batman, the Silver Surfer, and Doctor Fate (DeMatteis's run on this title featured the first known comic book appearance of a certain Pune-born Avatar)...to the creation of challenging adult graphic novels like Moonshadow, Brooklyn Dreams, and the nakedly Baba-influenced SeekersmInto The Mystery.  DeMatteis has also written for film and television (most recently for the science-fiction series Gene Roddenberry's Earth:  Final conflict)--but he is known to many in the Baba Community as a singer, songwriter, and musician.

"How Many Lifetimes?" is DeMatteis's first CD of Baba-inspired material: a wide array of songs ranging from gentle acoustic ballads to raw rock 'n' roll and Beatlesesque production numbers, all of them reflecting the ups, down, constant challenges, and ineffable rewards of life with Meher Baba.  From the raw pain of "Free" to the gently haunting "Margaret" (dedicated to Margaret Craske) and the towering, multi-tracked intensity of the title cut, "How Many Lifetimes?" is a powerful, and deeply personal, musical statement.
