Suddenly, it’s 1960!

The New Neo Posted on April 26, 2025 by neoApril 26, 2025

I’ve never taken much interest in cars. I see them as a mode of transportation, and my concern is with drivability and safety features, with looks a distant third. Even as a child growing up in the 1950s I didn’t … Continue reading →

On those prescription drug ads on TV

The New Neo Posted on April 4, 2025 by neoApril 4, 2025

Roger L. Simon writes: We have all sorts of advertisements for medical installations big and small competing for our attention (and money), but even worse we have virtually non-stop advertising for prescription drugs on television. Indeed they seem to dominate … Continue reading →

RIP Richard Chamberlain

The New Neo Posted on April 1, 2025 by neoApril 1, 2025

Chamberlain has died at the age of ninety. I remember him almost entirely from his early TV show Dr. Kildare. I was never much of a fan, but the show was wildly popular in its day, and Chamberlain went on … Continue reading →

Bill Maher’s abysmal ignorance about J6

The New Neo Posted on May 24, 2024 by neoMay 24, 2024

I highlight this not because of Maher, who doesn’t especially interest me. I think the clip is worth watching because of what it says about the way we get information and form our opinions these days. Maher isn’t exactly on … Continue reading →

The Iowa caucuses are today

The New Neo Posted on January 15, 2024 by neoJanuary 15, 2024

The outcome seems to me to be a foregone conclusion. But you can talk about it all here. Or the weather, which is very cold in Iowa today. Or this song: I saw the original Broadway production as a very … Continue reading →

RIP Tommy Smothers

The New Neo Posted on December 28, 2023 by neoDecember 28, 2023

Tommy Smothers has died at the age of 86. I was an early fan, having seen him and his brother on some variety show or other, doing their number, “Chocolate.” I was a kid and I howled with laughter. They … Continue reading →

Critiquing AI’s song lyric efforts

The New Neo Posted on December 23, 2023 by neoDecember 23, 2023

Boston’s POC Christmas Party echoes Eddie Murphy’s famous SNL bus sketch in reverse

The New Neo Posted on December 13, 2023 by neoDecember 13, 2023

First, the old Eddie Murphy sketch. On watching it again after many years, I’m struck by the fact that, although I had remembered the first two bits – in the store; and the party on the bus – I had … Continue reading →

Academics and artists for Palestinian terror

The New Neo Posted on October 20, 2023 by neoOctober 20, 2023

If the horrific situation in the Middle East can be said to have any pluses, probably the only one would be that it has underlined the destructive state of academia in the US today. I use the word “underlined” rather … Continue reading →

Loverly Audrey Hepburn

The New Neo Posted on October 14, 2023 by neoOctober 14, 2023

For a change of pace, here’s Audrey Hepburn singing “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “Show Me” for the My Fair Lady film. I understand why she was dubbed instead; there’s a lot of strain in her voice. But I like … Continue reading →

RIP David McCallum

The New Neo Posted on September 26, 2023 by neoSeptember 26, 2023

David McCallum was one of my favorite actors when I was young. I only saw him in two things, but I loved him in both. I’m not sure I could explain why, either. I found his blond looks exotic and … Continue reading →
