Does humor belong in music?
You guys know I don't often recommend a non-prog artist or web site. But if you have any interest in humor and political satire, I highly recommend this guy/site: http://www.youtube.com/royzimmerman
I would suggest "Defenders Of Marriage", Creation Science 101", or "Chicken Hawks", to start with, but it's hard to go wrong with this guy. Enjoy!

Very amusing. Good guitar work on the Defenders Of Marriage too.

"Dick Cheney" and "What If The Beatles Were Irish?" are pretty good too

Speaking of humor, just about pee'd myself seeing this guy live 2 weeks ago. Cheeks & sides hurt for days.

My all time favorite line (40 sec in, NSWF, adult theme, etc!!!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua0_88OwrRs

And to bring it back around, but backwards: this guy is the warm up for Jeff Dunham and plays in some of Jeff's routines. Music in humor instead of versa vice.

We have a Walter doll - my father's name is Walter and the doll is not too far off the mark...

I've probably seen JD in concert 15 times...but not in last few yrs - go see him live it's much better!
