Ian Glendinning said to DMB:
You added "degenerate rock and roll" to Platt's list of "new age"
degeneracies. You added to his list. What more can I say on the first point.
...BTW on what authority / evidence / basis do you brand "rock and roll" as
degenerate.
dmb replies:
I didn't say anything about rock music, Platt did. When I read it, I rolled
my eyes and deleted it. Sounds like something a bible-thumping preacher
would say - in the 1950's.
As I understand it, dance and music have always been about getting laid. Ask
any peacock. But what that has to do with philosophy or romantic movements
is not at all clear.
But more to the point, you seem to be defending the legitimacy of the new
age movement - or at least some part of it. Could you be more specific? Do
you have in mind a particular new age belief or idea that you think is worth
defending? If so, let's hear it.
I'm not saying there is no such thing. Its quite likely that there are
valuable notions that can rightly be called new age, but it might
interesting to see if you can find anything that isn't reactionary.
Good luck,
dmb
