A very special Friday night concert at The GO with the indefatigable singer-satirist Roy Zimmerman, five months into the Trump Administration.
"ReZist" is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman's hilarious, rhyme-intensive original songs.
"Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression," says Roy, "because in calling out the world's absurdities and laughing in their face, I'm affirming the real possibility of change."
Roy's songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He's shared stages with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, Kate Clinton and George Carlin. He's been profiled on NPR's "All Things Considered," and he's a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. "Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection." -- Joni Mitchell "It was great to hear all those songs, and to be reminded of your lyrical brilliance. Just excellent." -- Wierd Al Yankovic "Zimmerman is a guy on the left skewering folks on the right with rapier-sharp lyrics ... underneath the caustic satire is a man who is surprisingly optimistic." -- Sing Out Magazine YouTube links: Junior (T-R-E-A-S-O-N) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZkxS8Fi91M Religious Freedom (To Burn Our Own Witches) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7-GKiQXNE
