What do these symbols mean?

Actor, comedian, composer, and musician Michael McKean first achieved fame as the tall half of Laverne & Shirley's geeky duo, Lenny and Squiggy, and went on to comic immortality as David St. Hubbins, the spiky-haired lead singer of the fictional British hard rock band Spinal Tap, the demise of which is assiduously chronicled in Rob Reiner's 1984 cult mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. Add memorable turns in films like Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, and Broadway successes in Hairspray and the current hit revival of The Pajama Game (with Harry Connick, Jr.), and you have the stuff of legends. In his talk at Cal Performances, he "shall be contrasting the truth (inherent in well improvised fiction) with the obvious lies of 'reality programming' and how the actual world can be rescued from the pimps and carpetbaggers of the Third Millenium."
