Search - Harry Shearer :: Dropping Anchors

This comedy album boasts a satirical salute and final farewell to the era of the TV news anchor. Koppel, Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Aaron Brown, even Barbara Walters have all left the anchor chair in the past few months. On "Dropping Anchors", satirist and voice-man extraordinaire Harry Shearer pays them the tribute they deserve. In savagely incisive, satirical strokes, he portrays Koppel's agonies at ABC, Rather's dialogues with colleagues dead and alive, Brokaw's new projects - including a CD of "Songs In The Key Of L" - , and Walters' impassioned denial that she's had 82 facelifts. Shearer writes and performs all the comedy and music, much of it based on material from his nationally (and internationally) syndicated weekly radio hour, "Le Show", but adapted, re-recorded, and remastered specifically for this CD.
