campaign to go out on The Diag
and argue with leftist Henry Wale
lace sympathizers.
His humorous retaliation to
Berkeley is a far cry from a song-
that lie dashed off last fall dur-
ing the Little Rock integration
crisis, "The Ballad of Orval
Faubus." An excerpt from the
tune succinctly illustrates his at-,
titude toward racial hypocrisy.
"He figures that democracy is
civil and its right,
As long as it is Faubus, free and
whiter"
HIS SONGS are for the most
part bitter satire with an oc-
casional show tune thrown in.
"I've been compared -to Tom
Lehrer," Winter says, "and the'
only two people who agree we
have nothing in common are
Lehrer and myself." Winter ex--
plains that Lehrer satirizes well
known and respected social insti-
tutions such as the Boy Scouts
and deer hunting. Winter's songs
are protests against society's cur-
rent phenomena - the organiza-
tion man and the reputed remedy
for "tired blood."
Winter often satirizes in his
songs his own profession, for in-
stance, one called the "DJ."
"Everybody loves the DJ, with
his happy, radio and TV per-
sonality,
The DJ, peddles jukebox re-
ality..."
His biting satire on the "Teami
Man" cuts down the contemporary
worship of group dynamics and
