ATTENTION PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEMENTITES... Once again, Dr. Demento will be presenting four evening programs at Reed College in January. These are part of Reed's annual student-run independent study week known as Paideia. The public is invited to all programs, and admission is free. Wednesday, January 21 Dr. Demento, "Blues: a Historical Introduction" Dr. Demento provides an overview of blues, tracing the genre back through its historical roots. 8 pm, Vollum Lecture Hall Thursday, January 22 Dr. Demento, "The Life and Music of Frank Zappa" Dr. Demento provides an introduction to the world of Zappa -- guitar god, iconoclast, satirist, avant-garde composer and fighter for the First Amendment -- with personal anecdotes and excerpts from Demento's interviews with the man himself. 8 pm, Vollum Lecture Hall Friday, January 23 Dr. Demento, "Punk, from the Beginning (aka, the Class of '76)" Dr. Demento surveys the pioneer punk rockers, with clips from the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Black Flag, and others, while examining some of their spiritual descendants. 8 pm, Vollum Lecture Hall Saturday, January 24 Dr. Demento, "Festival of Dementia" Back again, the Festival offers the chance to get a closer look at Dr. Demento, live and in person! Since 1970, Dr. Demento has hosted the nation's #1 funny music radio show. Here's a rare chance to see the best videos of the show's biggest hits, featuring Monty Python, the Doctor's discovery and protege "Weird Al" Yankovic, and, of course, "Fish Heads," all on Vollum's big screen! 8 pm, Vollum Lecture Hall Directions: Use the main campus entrance, S.E. Woodstock Blvd. at Reed College Place. You will soon come to a fork in the road. The Vollum College Center will then be straight ahead of you, a block away; the road to the right leads to the free parking lot. From the northwest corner of the parking lot, it's a short walk past the Library to the Vollum College Center where the lecture hall is located. |
