MarsCon 2004 Guests Of Honor include Doctor Demento

Doctor Demento is the host and deejay of The Dr. Demento Show, radio's weekly
two-hour festival of "mad music and crazy comedy" heard on stations coast to
coast. It is a free-wheeling, unpredictable mix of music and comedy. Along with
legends like Spike Jones, Tom Lehrer, Stan Freberg, Monty Python, and Frank
Zappa, the Doctor plays new funny songs sent in by amateur and professional
singers and comedians. That's how the world was introduced to "Weird Al"
Yankovic, who went on to become rock music's best-known funny person. A
home-made tape that Al made at age 16 and sent to the Doctor provided him with
his very first media exposure.

Those who've listened carefully to the Doctor's show have undoubtedly realized
that somewhere between his lively larynx and elegant top hat there resides the
mind of a seasoned musicologist and dedicated scholar...a world-renowned record
collector and music historian, whose lifelong passion for music of all kinds is
reflected in his weekly selection of "rare records and outrageous tapes" for
the Dr. Demento Show. Doctor Demento is a local boy, born Barret Hansen in
Minneapolis in 1941.

It is MarsCon's distinct pleasure to welcome one of Minnesota fandom's favorite
sons back home to be our Media Guest of Honor. More information on Doctor
Demento and his show can be found at Doctor Demento's official website:
