'Ungodly' worker sues Santana


Recommended Posts

The employee claims he was fired by the devoted spiritualist for not being "closer to God", according to entertainment website E!Online.

Bruce Kuhlman, 59, said he was fired by Santana and his wife, Deborah, after their spiritual guru, "Dr Dan", determined that he was too old to become enlightened, said the wrongful termination lawsuit filed on April 13.

Kuhlman had worked for Santana since 1988 and was running the guitar star's licensing operation when he was fired last year.

Kuhlman is seeking more than $100 000 from Santana who he said violated a California law that makes it illegal to fire someone on the basis of religion.

Now, if all stated above is indeed fact, and there aren't any other important facts to consider, I'd have to say that Bruce Kuhlman does indeed have a legitimate case.

Like I said, this is dependent on whether I'm getting a full story here.

SOUL SACRIFICE

Los Angeles - A former employee of the New Santana Band has accused musician Carlos Santana and his wife of firing him for not being "closer to God," according to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed in California. Bruce Kuhlman, 59, said Santana's wife, Deborah, went on a campaign to terminate him after her spiritual guru, "Dr. Dan," determined through "calibration" tests that Kuhlman was too old to become enlightened, the lawsuit, filed on April 13, said. Kuhlman, who began working with Carlos Santana as a personal assistant in 1988, was running the band's licensing operation, River of Colors, when he was fired in 2004. Kuhlman seeks more than $100,000 and punitive damages against the couple and their businesses, and his lawsuit asks a judge to stop them from using Dr. Dan's Neuro-Emotional Technique to "test" or "calibrate" employees.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
