Bring Dave Lippman and George Shrub to town!

Satirical songster Dave Lippman takes to the road with the world's only known singing CIA agent, George Shrub, in hot pursuit. Current victims of his parody and thrust include faith-based torture futures, free-market climate change, Sport Futility Vehicles, the Axis of Pretty Bad, and of course Wal-Mart. Get ready for high-end pop rewrites and some very wise cracks.

Colleges/universities/high schools:  workshops/classroom sessions available - see below

Lippman's songs, released on numerous albums over the last 20 years, bear such bucolic and transcendent titles as "I Hate Walmart" "The Stocks They Are Exchangin'," "The Twelve Days of Bushmas," and "Battle Him in Public." His CDs receive airplay on anticommercial radio throughout the country.
