<i>How do you fight recession, war, ignorance, greed and the scourge
of Right Wing punditry? Why, with satire, of
course. </i></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><i>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. </i></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><i>"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. There's a limbo-like song about Rush
Limbaugh. "How low can you go?" Zimmerman sings.
There's a song about the Orange County Rolling Acres Senior Center
Cannabis Club." There's even a "Sing-along Second
Amendment." (</i> <a href="http://www.youtube/"><font

>.com/watch?v=BuNEq7gHqF8 ). The HBO documentary "The Trials
of Ted Haggard," directed by Alexandra Pelosi features Roy's song,
"Ted Haggard is Completely Heterosexual." And his tune
"Buddy, Can You Spare a Trillion Dollars?" landed him a mention on
the front page of the Wall Street Journal, an unaccustomed honor for a
folkie. (</i> <a
