APRIL 27 “THIS WEEK IN THE MUSIC OF NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE”

This week, on April 29, 2014, satirical song-writer and musician Roy Zimmerman performed in Manchester, New Hampshire as part of his “Blue Dot” tour.

Zimmerman satirizes everything from opponents of same-sex marriage to war. He explains his philosophy of combining music with nonviolent activism:

“There’s nothing funny about World Peace. Social Justice never killed at the Comedy Store. If we ever attain a worldwide consciousness of peace and justice, I’ll be happily out of a job. But as long as there’s poverty, war, bigotry, ignorance, greed, lust and paranoia, I’ve got a career.”

Zimmerman even performed outside the 2004 Republican National Convention, indicting them for approving of militarism.
