Let’s chop some broccoli with Dana Carvey

The New Neo Posted on April 24, 2012 by neoApril 24, 2012

Many years ago, before Saturday Night Live became unfunny and unwatchable, there was Dana Carvey. I happened across this audition tape of his on YouTube, which features a bit of his that he later did on the show, and which … Continue reading →

Some people…

The New Neo Posted on April 21, 2012 by neoApril 21, 2012

…die young. Some die older but not really old. I think of them as the advance guard. One was Levon Helm: RIP. [Hat tip: American Digest.]

Branding Mitt Romney

The New Neo Posted on April 19, 2012 by neoApril 19, 2012

My new article, “Branding Retro Romney,” is up at PJ. It’s about the perils of casting Mitt Romney in the “Mad Men” role, as the Obama administration has been wont to do. You can comment there or here, or better … Continue reading →

Do those potential Veeps really mean it when they say “no”?

The New Neo Posted on April 18, 2012 by neoApril 18, 2012

In election years, whenever I hear a host of possible candidates for VP saying they have no interest in the slot, I think of this completely and totally and irredeemably non-PC song. So, sue me:

Compare and contrast

The New Neo Posted on April 16, 2012 by neoApril 16, 2012

Girls just want to have fun. And so do boys. In Colombia. And Italy. And then again in Colombia (hmmm, is there something about the water?) And now let’s segue into something a lot more fun: Ah, the 80s! Oh, … Continue reading →

The Hunger Games

The New Neo Posted on April 10, 2012 by neoApril 10, 2012

What do you get when you cross the TV show “Survivor” with the Roman Colosseum, “The Lottery,” dystopian sci-fi, Lord of the Flies, “The Most Dangerous Game,” and “The Wizard of Oz,” and then pitch it to the audience for … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on April 7, 2012 by neoApril 7, 2012

Here’s another in my series of “Rescue 911″ reprises. In this one it’s the adorable and very bright little boy Armando (who plays himself) who is so very very touching. You also might say this has an Easter theme because, … Continue reading →

James Bond theme songs

The New Neo Posted on March 29, 2012 by neoMarch 29, 2012

Here’s a PJ article on the 5 worst and 5 best James Bond theme songs. My question is: why, why, why is there no “Dr. No” there among the best? Is it because there was no conventional “song” (with words, … Continue reading →

Jeepers creepers, winter’s back…

The New Neo Posted on March 26, 2012 by neoMarch 26, 2012

…in New England. But only for a little while. March is usually quite cold here, and often snowy, although by then we can comfort ourselves with the idea that the long winter is nearly over. But this March it’s been … Continue reading →

Rescue 911

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2012 by neoMarch 21, 2012

After I re-made the acquaintance of the show “Rescue 911” via YouTube and posted this episode, I thought I’d go back and post some others from time to time. I’m not sure why I loved that show so much back … Continue reading →

The myth of the heavy-ish Marilyn Monroe

The New Neo Posted on March 19, 2012 by neoMarch 13, 2013

The time has come to debunk once and for all the myth that Marilyn Monroe was fat, or even somewhat heavy. I’m not the first one to have tried (see this, for example). And yet the notion persists that she … Continue reading →

Mesmerizing music

The New Neo Posted on March 16, 2012 by neoMarch 16, 2012

Every now and then I become mesmerized by a certain musician. Luckily, the force of each palls after a while, or I would be sliding inexorably into obsession territory, like the woman in Richard Thompson’s “From Galway to Graceland,” whose … Continue reading →
