Synopsis

New Age workers are not working to gather bushels of money, but rather toward peace and understanding. And what’s so funny about that, asked Elvis Costello? They work to impart wisdom and knowledge, to deconstruct the abstract. It is simply unfortunate that New Age musician George Winston’s music isn’t quite as significant as Costello’s. The New Age is lovely when viewed through the prism of its rhetorically charged constructs—“auras,” “energy fields,” “channels,” “psychic perception,” “aliens.” It is a rosy world. At its conception, the New Age “appealed to professional elites because it combined the countercultural spirit with advanced science,” write Horowitz and Carroll. The New Age became a lasting legacy of the counterculture because, in final analysis, it is benign.--Terry Simons
