DR. DEMENTO ON THE ROAD
The Doc will once again be giving some talks this month (January 2012) at his alma mater, Reed
College in Portland, OR.
Thursday, January 19 - Here, There and Everywhere: Where the Beatles'
music came from. We'll listen to the skiffle, R&B and pop sounds the
Beatles grew up with, and learn how they influenced and inspired the
Fab Four to create their own wondrous music.
Friday, January 20 - A Century of Protest Songs: What Occupy USA needs
is a hit song. We'll hear a few new songs from the movement, along with
memorable songs from protest movements through the years. Woody
Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, Tom Waits, Gil
Scott-Heron, many others.
Saturday, January 21 - Dr. Demento's Greatest Hits: Weird Al, Frank
Zappa, Tom Lehrer, "Fish Heads" and more, in audio and video. Dr.
Demento, radio's king of funny songs, tells the stories behind the
songs, and how his radio career began right there at Reed.
All events will be at 8 PM, at Vollum Lecture Hall on the Reed campus
on S.E. Woodstock Blvd. The events are open to the public and admission
is $5 for anyone who is not affiliated with Reed. Park in the east lot off Woodstock Blvd.
No further road itinerary available at this time.
