“This is the dawning of the Age of Hysteria”

The New Neo Posted on September 30, 2019 by neoSeptember 30, 2019

New song lyrics by Gerard Vanderleun. It helps to know the original. Actually, I think the Age of Hysteria may have dawned quite some time ago. But that’s a minor quibble. Also, let me add that I think it’s cold … Continue reading →

The 50th anniversary of Woodstock is coming up

The New Neo Posted on August 8, 2019 by neoAugust 8, 2019

Apparently, that’s a thing. But Woodstock passed me by almost completely at the time. I read about it right after it happened, and it was just one of many hippy-ish events that happened during those years, albeit a photogenic one … Continue reading →

A little addendum to the shoe post: signs of the times

The New Neo Posted on July 12, 2019 by neoJuly 12, 2019

I am gratified to see all the responses to the shoe post of yesterday. So much so that I thought I’d add that I noticed a listing on airbnb that said under “rules”: “This is a shoe-free house.” I think … Continue reading →

Training horses for the film “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken”: the horse has to want to jump

The New Neo Posted on June 8, 2019 by neoJune 8, 2019

Remember those extraordinary diving horses we talked about a while back? If not, refresh your memory here. In that thread and in other online discussions, one of the big questions is: how are the horses trained to do that? There … Continue reading →

YouTube will be banning extremist videos

The New Neo Posted on June 5, 2019 by neoJune 5, 2019

I wonder what algorithm YouTube will use in this effort: YouTube announced plans on Wednesday to remove thousands of videos and channels that advocate neo-Nazism, white supremacy and other bigoted ideologies in an attempt to clean up extremism and hate … Continue reading →

I don’t know whether or not I like this…

The New Neo Posted on May 30, 2019 by neoMay 30, 2019

…but one thing I can say about it is that it’s certainly different. I also love the guy’s accent.

The war on the dollar stores

The New Neo Posted on May 22, 2019 by neoMay 22, 2019

This article is a few months old, but it just recently came to my attention and I read it because I love dollar stores, although the article is a typical anti-capitalist attack on them as somehow harming minorities in poor … Continue reading →

A wild ride: those diving horses and their riders

The New Neo Posted on May 18, 2019 by neoMay 18, 2019

You may have heard of the famous diving horses (perhaps through the movie “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken”), but I never had until a day or two ago. I was watching a TV show about Annie Oakley—what an astounding story—and … Continue reading →

The life of an atypical song: Killer Queen, then and now

The New Neo Posted on April 6, 2019 by neoApril 6, 2019

The number “Killer Queen” was a somewhat unusual offering from the band Queen when the song first came out in 1974. It’s catchy and has a musical theater rather than hard-rock vibe: Freddie Mercury [said]: “People are used to hard … Continue reading →

Russiagate: why did the press do it?

The New Neo Posted on March 25, 2019 by neoMarch 25, 2019

Yesterday it was all about the Mueller report and the Barr letter. Today the news and commentary seems to be focusing more on the press itself: whether the MSM will ever own up to the magnitude of their mistake/lies (I … Continue reading →

Time, time, time, see what’s become of me: or, who’s the old guy playing the guitar and singing?

The New Neo Posted on March 2, 2019 by neoMarch 2, 2019

Or the old guy playing the drums, for that matter? First, we have some of the guys (Brian May on lead guitar and Roger Taylor on drums; they are featured starting around minute 2:00) when young: Now for the old … Continue reading →

Songs with big changups

The New Neo Posted on February 23, 2019 by neoFebruary 23, 2019

I saw the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” recently—more about that in another post—which started me thinking about the phenomenon of rock songs that start one way and then go off in a very different direction. I don’t just mean a traditional … Continue reading →
