NYC: Tom Lehrer was born 4/9/1928 He quit performing, saying, "Political satire became redundant the day Henry Kissenger won the nobel Peace Prize." [thanx snoopy1] In Lehrer's 1953 idionymous 10-inch record, he describes his occupation as a relatively unsuccessful purveyor of optional pharmaceuticals to local school children. To supplement it, he would roll the occasional drunk.
