Thread Name: Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best!
Subject: RE: Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best!
Ah, yes...the only music my parents ever hid from me in my checkered childhood. Not that they would have minded me knowing the songs - I knew all the drinking songs from Dei Fledermaus (in translation), after all. They just dreaded a phone call from school, if I started singing, say, "Old Dope Peddler", and the authorities heard me. There was a large article on Lehrer last week in the Youngstown (OH) Vindicator. Forget People Magazine; you know you've made it when they write about you in the YV. Keep the thread up, there's a good quote in the article, but I won't be home until next week, and won't have 'net access at work until Wednesday.
