Roy Zimmerman is NOT Bob Zimmerman. He's funnier. Otherwise he's exactly the same.

Just so you know. Bob Dylan's original name was Bob Zimmerman and he is from the Iron Range region of Minnesota. He actually named (it is said) the busy business student neighborhood by the main campus here at The U: "Dinkytown" ... because he thought it was like a town, and it was dinky. The Watchtower (as in "All along the...." is a big ol WPA (I guess) built stone tower overlooking University Avenue in the elite Prospect Hill neighborhood. And so on.

Roy Zimmerman is much funnier than Bob Dylan, and he is here in the Twin Cities making fun of the Republicans. (Hat Tip PZ Myers). And here, folks, is his latest production: "Sarah Pale in Compari-Sun"

She can make a moose stew....
She can fillet a caribou....

If Zimmerman is so much funnier than Dylan, why does he have to get his best laughs from Dylan references?

I got to see him live at a Rally last night put on by AM 950 KTNF. Pretty funny stuff and pretty clever writing.

That's embarassing. Sorry, Bill the Cat. Great minds, or whatever.
