This year's Annual Sex Show--okay, we skipped 2009--takes a lighthearted look at variations from the tried and true. Comedian JIMMY TINGLE explains gays & homophobia. A 1964 documentary exposes (so to speak) the Communist-inspired flood of filth peddled to our children from every newsstand. PAUL KRASSNER discusses how to respond when your 16-year-old daughter bids adieu to virginity. And LEONARD COHEN again confuses an unfaithful girlfriend with the Collapse of Western Civilization.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "very noses") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail period com.
