I leave the room when they begin to seriously discuss their horoscopes, gosh, and, believe me, here in Eugene they do; funny how one doesn't hear that sort of chatter in the foyers of the classical music venues here, though.

If that isn't New Age then I don't know what is. There certainly are bits of wisdom here and there but it's packaged in a feel good formula relying on superstitions. Music in itself can work as a good form of therapy but binding it to pseudo science just makes music less valuable rather than more valuable. Sure, you get more money by selling out but in the long run it hurts classical music more than it helps. Let them use the typical music for "relaxation" that never goes anywhere. I will stay with music that is far more vivid/interesting but also far more relaxing, i.e. classical music.Rickardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084578675339015204noreply@blogger.com
