The New Neo Posted on February 21, 2026 by neoFebruary 21, 2026

The New Neo Posted on February 9, 2026 by neoFebruary 9, 2026

I’m no football fan, but even I could tell that last night’s Superbowl game was more boring than usual. And for Patriots’ fans, it was more painful and even embarrassing. I also watched some of the halftime “entertainment,” curious about … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on February 7, 2026 by neoFebruary 7, 2026

He had it all – perfect technique combined with utter ease and freedom of movement, musicality, “attack,” charm, sex appeal, and acting ability: I was fortunate enough to see him dance many many times in person. I also once stood … Continue reading →

Anti-American studies

The New Neo Posted on January 26, 2026 by neoJanuary 26, 2026

This will not surprise you: The 250th anniversary of America’s founding provides an opportunity to reflect on—and fight over—the country’s extraordinary story.

The New Neo Posted on January 10, 2026 by neoJanuary 10, 2026

I thought this ballet video purporting to show the ten greatest male dancers of the 20th century would be bad, but it’s kind of okay in many ways. However, one way it is annoying is that it can’t be embedded, … Continue reading →

From “Always On My Mind” to “The Letter”

The New Neo Posted on December 27, 2025 by neoDecember 27, 2025
