Santa Fe New Mexican – Alumnus 'Dr. Demento' Releases New Tribute Album
READ: Ethnomusicology Alumnus Barret Hansen, aka Dr. Demento, earned his nickname in the early ’70s when another DJ called him “demented” for playing the black-humor rockabilly classic “Transfusion” by Nervous Norvus on his show. Hansen subsequently created a unique format that included novelty records old and new, song parodies, spoken-word comedy, outsider music and punk rock.
