An NWN Xmas tradition. Some brief commentary by me, five satiric songs, and an imitation Broadway "big production number." All take a comic but critical view of American hypocrisies, religiosity, commercialism, militarism, class warfare, and other Christmastime traditions. See "Notes" for playlist.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "suspicious gaze") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Playlist: Hugh Blumenfeld, "Long-Haired Radical Socialist Jew" Simon and Garfunkel, "Silent Night / Six O'Clock News" Anne Feeney, "Brave New Christmas" Roy Zimmerman, "Buy War Toys for Christmas" Stan Freberg, "Green Chri$tma$" Tom Lehrer, "A Christmas Carol"
