Snubbed by Roy Zimmerman

Roy has this nice inclusive Christma-Hanu-Rama-Ka-Dona-Kwanzaa song for the season, but notice: no mention of squidmas. Time to riot in the streets! Tear down some embassies! Defenestrate folkies!

I think you all need to go to RoyZimmerman.com and sign up for his mailing list so you can track his War on Squidmas.

The Folk Era was a special time in America, a time of innocence, when people sang Kumbaya and really meant it. When banjo music got airplay and Burl Ives had groupies. No one knows what caused the folk era, and scientists are studying what can be done to prevent it from ever happening again. The…
November's Robert O'Brien Trophy (formerly known as the Idiot of the Month Award) will, for the first time, be awarded to a group of people rather than to a specific person. In fact, it will be awarded not to a specific organization or group, but to a rather amorphous and undefined group of people…
It's December, and Squidmas is coming. Maybe you're like me, and the kids have all moved out, so you're thinking having a little intelligent life at home would be nice. Or maybe you're kids are still home, and you think they'd love a pretty pet. Or maybe you just love cephalopods, as do we all, so…
It's the absolute peak of college basketball season, and it still seems weird to be almost completely disconnected from the game. This is not, by the way, the result of any principled objection to the manifest hypocrisies of the NCAA, or anything like that, but a practical effect of having kids. If…

There's no way he's singing every syllable in that last line. Is there?!?

That's it! I'm suing on grounds of discrimination!

It's about time we react to such blatant discrimination against celebrators of Cthulumas. I'm also itching for a defenestration.

His guitar is out of tune...

I'm up for defenestrating folkies, but strictly on general principles, mind...

I think you'll be part of a very small minority for this one...

While I like Roy Zimmerman's recent songs, none of them are on par with his old ones like, Creation Science 101; Defenders of Marriage; and Dick Cheney.

But I suppose not every song can be his best.

However, I did see this holiday greeting from Stephen King today:

"I had a great year and, as always, it starts with the people who read the books and have been so kind to me over the last 30 or so years that I have been making up stories. It was especially nice to hear from you this year because I turned 60 and finally had to kill my teddy bear. Just joking about the teddy bear, but it's a little traumatic and you guys helped to ease the pain. I hope you will all have a happy holiday season whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, or simply the imminent coming of Great Cthulhu. I hope that all of us will have a happy new year, that you will enjoy Duma Key, and that you vote for all the right candidates in November! Be well and be good to one another.

Steve King"

No Squidmas? What? This guy is obviously a poser. I vote we ban him from the Squidmas gift exchange...totally outrageous!

Hmmm... our generation's Tom Lehrer doesn't mention squidmas in this one, either, nor in this one.

The bastard!

Me too. But that's because I've just bought shares in Pilkington Glass.

He mentioned the most important holiday, the Saucetice. It's sort of squid-like.

RAmen.

It's *always* time to defenstrate folkies.
Maybe Jello Biafra (whose record label is Alternative Tentacles) could do a Squidmas song worth singing along to - maybe an update to Moral Majority?

*sigh*
Both the song and this post are merely new blows in the never-ending War on Monoplacophoranmas.
