{ music video } What if the Beatles were Irish?

Pop music
Protest songs: Roy Zimmerman [America's premiere political satirical songwriter sings a compelling combination of socially conscious comedy and original music; it's Lenny Bruce meets Stephen Sondheim meets Phil Ochs in Brian Wilson's living room], online at www.royzimmerman.com [funny songs about ignorance, war and greed] (accessed 31-Aug-07).

Roy Zimmerman's not someone who I know a lot about. But, if Mr. Bawdy Songs (cum "Voices In The Wind"), Oscar Brand himself, recently devoted an entire radio program to Zimmerman's music, then Zimmerman can't be half bad. Especially since Zimmerman is brave enough to ask the musical question, What If the Beatles Were Irish?

So force upon yourself, if you will, Zimmerman's unapologetic songbook of liberal umbrage, regime-rocking anthems, and over-educated word play. You'll feel inspired by his songs, and they're all available at his YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/RoyZimmerman).
