Roy Zimmermann at Eddie's Attic

[Citizen Jane]

If you don't know Roy Zimmermann, you ought to. He will be at Eddie's Attic in Decatur on Sunday October 12th (this Sunday). I am not trying to advertise, just informing those of you who know and love him.

"What's funny about war, poverty, ignorance, bigotry, neo-conservatism, homophobia, greed, lust and fear? Ask Roy Zimmerman. He's been writing satirical songs for twenty years.

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."

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

Joni Mitchell says, "Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection."

There's a decidedly Lefty slant to his lyrics. "We used to have a name for Right Wing satire," he says. "We called it 'cruelty.'" "



Disclaimer, Roy is a family friend, but I'd post this even if he were not!!!
