The 'New Agers' of the 80s, 90s , etc. along with the recent OCCUPY MOVERS were/are LATE. NOT that whats going on now isn't massively relevant and important! Sly and The Family Stone' s 'There's a Riot Goin' On' 1970-71 music album, and/or Funkadelic's musical tour de force 'America Eats Its Young' 1972 might be good places to start. These were the ORIGINAL New Age thought movers in modern times.. It's just NOT the same ZING these days though. Past is Prologue? Let's hope so!

Thanks Dude, for uploading a bit of SPRINGTIME, that the 'WINTER IN AMERICA' song by Gil Scott-Heron's presaged long ago. It's going on NOW!. The LION IN WINTER! Peace SIGNS!!!
If it took this long for 'Change to begin, and we haven't yet reached the "Mountaintop" Dr. ML King emblematically spoke of, where are we by now REALLY? Does anybody really know what time it is; AND does anybody REALLY CARE? That plane prop represents, eerily, our America, the economy, social conditions RIGHT NOW! They (WE) had it relatively good back then! I pine for them again every day.
OCCUPIERS could take the pre-eminent lesson in REAL happiness with change from this. There is nothing 'new' under the sun. Only difference is these were the REAL DEAL times. Innocence was still around but being eroded by one of the next original stages of 'shock and awe' mass public social engineering : war, assassinations, repression...
Coolest of the COOL Hang Ten/Earth Shoes era! GO 'NEW EDITION' groupies! Took me back to my 12-15 year old CLEAR but GREENHORN IDEALISM. Air seemed fresher then; the limitless possibilities, optimism for positive change, aspirations, styles, college just around the corner. The free-love/peace era minus AIDS! Earle Hagen was THIS COOL? I associated him[s] musicology with the 'Hokie, hayseed stuff he did for other shows. What a revelation! That music theme is THE BOMB. Occupy Movement get real!

This feels a LOT like a DHARMA Initiative training film.
