In places seriously, in places tongue-in-cheek, we take a look at some current trends. Important ones include the decline of suburbs and the increasing wealth of the plutocrats. But let's not neglect Botox for men ("brotox"), celebrity vegetarianism, women NOT dyeing their hair, special-interest magazines, & exploring power plants while naked.
Contributors include JH Kunstler, George Carlin, Paul Krassner, provincial newspapers, and singer David Rovics. With a new introduction by KD.
Previously broadcast, as NWN #217, in May 2012.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "false promises") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
