[Peace] Satirical songwriter Roy Zimmerman at Allen Hall 4/9

[Laura Haber]

Satirical songwriter Roy Zimmerman brings his one-man show "Roy Zimmerman: Real American" to Allen Hall!
 
Friday, April 9 
7 pm 
Main Lounge of Allen Hall, 1005 W Gregory Drive.  
Free and open to the public
 
Roy's YouTube videos have garnered over four million views and tens of thousands of comments, many of them coherent.  His songs are heard on NPR and Air America and he's a featured blogger for the Huffington Post.
“Real American” is 90 minutes of Zimmerman’s funny songs and comic commentary, a tuneful examination of the American political landscape in the era of Hope and Change. Health care, the economy, same-sex marriage, climate change, Creationism, guns, taxes, abstinence and, yes, Obama all come under satirical scrutiny.

The Los Angeles Times says, “Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society’s foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer.”
