Starting to promote volume 6 of my 21st CENTURY OLDIES parody-lyric series The First Quarter Century 2001-2025 (and a planned theater project)

 

FREE GIVEAWAY IN THE U.S. (EVEN POSTAGE IS FREE IN THE U.S.)

I've been writing parody lyrics almost every day usually based on Times news stories or politics, 

and putting them in the New York Times comments, for many years now.  

They've gotten attention over the years, 

like Lin-Manuel Miranda very generously tweeting 

"Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure" in Nov. 2015 -

which the New York Times quoted in an ArtsBeat article June 1 2016 by Daniel McDermon.

It's at this link, towards the end of the article; you just have to scroll down a bit:

and linked in the Times' New York Today column when Noah Remnick interviewed me 

Feb. 3 2016
 (at the end of the column "And Finally" section)

"During my time here, no one has brightened my early mornings quite like a man named Fred Landau.

You may know him as Freddie, our lyrically gifted commenter who pens a daily ditty for us lucky fans."

I've been publishing collections of the parody lyrics as 21ST CENTURY OLDIES, so far 5 volumes, 

and I'm preparing and trying to push

Volume 6: "21st Century Oldies, the First Quarter Century, 2001 to 2025."  

(To give you the idea of what it is, it's kind of like a Sing Along with MAD type 

collection, without the pictures.)

As a "branding gimmick" towards trying to get the 21ST CENTURY OLDIES name out there, 

I'm trying offering a free giveaway: If anyone in the U.S. wants a copy of one of the old volumes totally free (I'll even pay the postage),

just email me your name and U.S. mailing address to my AOL address FJL1960 and I'll send one of those books to you.  

Info about the 5 volumes can be found by googling "21st Century Oldies" "Fred Landau" or searching the name on Amazon.

Thanks,

Fred Landau
