Roy Zimmerman's "Faulty Intelligence"

Wed, Apr 5 - Thu, Apr 27
7.00pm
$15-22 Sliding Scale

Armed only with a guitar, a strident baritone whine, and wicked sense
of rhyme and ridicule, "FAULTY INTELLEGENCE" includes a love song to
the sexiest man alive, "Dick Cheney," a lesson in "Creation Science
101," a portrait in song of "Jerry Falwell's God" and the bawk-along
"Chickenhawk," already a Zimmerman classic.

Roy Zimmerman has been writing satirical songs for twenty years. He's
shared the stage with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate Clinton, Dennis
Miller, Sandra Tsing Loh, kd lang, Andy Borowitz and Paul Krassner.
He also played a series of shows swapping songs with The Pixies'
Frank Black.

Zimmerman founded and wrote all the material for the satirical
folk quartet The Foremen, who recorded for Warner Reprise throughout
the Nineties. As a solo artist, he's released four albums, and
there's a fifth, "Faulty Intelligence" due out in May. "I hope it
gets good reviews," he says, "but mostly I hope it gets denied under
oath by Karl Rove."

"Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's
foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer." Los Angeles Times.

"I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy
songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne'.'" Tom
Lehrer
