Thread Name: Tom Lehrer- Your favorite song? What's he doing?
Subject: RE: Tom Lehrer
Jim Carroll
Is it true that Tom Lehrer retired because he claimed that the government of the day (Regan's) had made satire redundant?
I'd heard it was when Henry Kissiger got the Nobel Peace Prize. Satire couldn't compete with that.
