âFaulty Intelligenceâ is the latest CD from singer-satirist Roy Zimmerman.

The title has an artful ambiguity but thereâs no mistaking Zimmermanâs point of view. His wickedly inventive original songs take George Bush and company to task for the âFaulty Intelligenceâ which has led us to war in Iraq, and for the greater lapses which have inflamed the Culture and Class Wars.

The CD features eighteen tuneful lampoons. Highlights include a lesson in âCreation Science 101,â the bawk-along âChickenhawkâ and a plaintive plea to âAbstain With Me.â

âIâm an abstract impressionist,â Zimmerman says in âSaddam Shameâ after a shaky impersonation of Donald Rumsfeld. He also does Elvis, Popeye and Al Green on this album, not to mention an ape gone berserk and a flock of terrified chickens.

But the humor has a bite. âIt was funny when âNo Child Left Behindâ was Bushâs education policy,â says Zimmerman. âNow that itâs his recruitment strategy, itâs gotten serious.â

Roy Zimmerman has been writing satirical songs for twenty years. Heâs shared the stage with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate Clinton, Dennis Miller, Sandra Tsing Loh, kd lang, Andy Borowitz and Paul Krassner, and played a series of shows swapping songs with The Pixies’ Frank Black.

Zimmerman founded and wrote all the material for the satirical folk quartet The Foremen, who recorded for Warner Reprise throughout the Nineties. âFaulty Intelligenceâ is his fifth solo album. âI hope it gets good reviews,â he says, âbut mostly I hope it gets denied under oath by Karl Rove.â
