THE TALKING FREDS

Who are the Freds and why do they talk?

The Talking Freds, appearing February 27 at
1230 hours in the Douglas College Lower
Cafeteria, are a duo of political satirists, in
song.

The duo consists of Fred, who is John Black, and
Fred, who is Jim Sands. They sing, as Black
puts it, "coffee house folk." The Talking Freds
have been together for months and have already
acquired notoriety for their recent show at

La Quena, on Commercial Drive.

Black, a Humanities instructor at Douglas
College, works on Red Eye, a contemporary
affairs program at Co-op Radio, where Sands
also works.

One of Freds' songs is "Los Socredos', a satire
placing the Socred government in Latin America.
Although most of the parody is aimed at the
present parties in power, the left gets its share,
just to keep everyone happy.

The musical style of the Talking Freds ranges
from the Talking Heads to Bill Bragg, with lots
of patter in between.

There has also been a rumor that Bill Benido

and his side kick Gracias McCarthy may make

a guest appearance for this very humorous special
event.

This Humanities Institute event is free and open
to the public.
