Thirty-three artists, including Beatle friends and associates Peter and Gordon, Dave Stewart, Donovan and former Apple Recording artist Mary Hopkin, are featured in a benefit compilation for the David Lynch Foundation called "Download For Good," now available through iTunes. The compilation and Lynch's non-profit educational foundation want to boost the cause of transcendental meditation, which has been supported by the Beatles.
Proceeds from the album, which also features Peter Gabriel, Nancy Sinatra, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Tom Waits, will be used to bring transcendental meditation to inner-city youth, veterans returning home from combat with post-traumatic stress disorder, Native Americans, homeless adults and children, prisoners and those in need.
Others featured on the album include Alanis Morissette, Andy Summers of the Police with Geeta Novotny, Arrested Development, Ben Folds, Carmen Rizzo with Grant-Lee Phillips, Dave Stewart, Iggy Pop, Maroon 5, Moby, Nancy Sinatra, Pink Jaffee with Jakob Dylan & Daryl Hannah and Slightly Stoopid with Don Carlos.
It was Lynch's Foundation that sponsored the benefit concert "Change Begins Within" in 2009 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The show featured an onstage reunion by Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
