Wondering what to expect this Wednesday (June 22) night at the comedy concert to benefit OCPP?

Listen to this clip of today's "Carl in the Morning" show on 620 KPOJ. This morning, Carl Wolfson, who will be the Master of Ceremonies on Wednesday night, spoke with musician and political satirist Roy Zimmerman. Roy sang three songs on air: "Statement of Purpose," "Vote Republican" and "To the Victims of this Tragedy We Send Our Thoughts and Prayers."

For over 20 years, Roy has poked fun at ignorance, war and greed. His wickedly inventive satirical songs have appeared on HBO, Showtime and on NPR's "All Things Considered." Roy also blogs on the Huffington Post.
