Thread Name: Tom Lehrer: Tomfoolery in Oz
Subject: RE: Tom Lehrer: Tomfoolery in Oz
Lehrer's songs are still a breath of fresh air, in a society which is all too smug.
One reason why Lehrer probably gave up satirical songwriting is he found the same themes coming back to haunt him, decade after decade.
With the Christmas season fast approaching it is time to dust off Lehrer's "Christmas Time."
Cheerily,
