The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2012 by neoAugust 1, 2012

30 years of the Sultans: may there be 30 more!

The New Neo Posted on July 20, 2012 by neoJuly 20, 2012

This is a clever idea, and it appeals to both my inordinate love for Mark Knopfler and my interest in watching performers then and now (see this, this, this, this, and this): All hail YouTube and virtual time travel!

An interview with Robert Conquest…

The New Neo Posted on July 7, 2012 by neoJuly 7, 2012
