If you don’t know who Tom Lehrer is, it must be nice to be young. I envy you, not just because of your strong backs, but because you can discover Tom Lehrer for the first time.
Wow. Any recommendations here?
Smut!

That message was from ~2 1/2 years ago, so apparently he’s not in any hurry to shut the site down, still cool to discover something new.
I understand he’s back in Cambridge now.
I like that you used Lehrer’s Werner von Braun song as the example of his music. It permanently influenced my view of Werner von Braun.
It was certainly serendipitous that “hypocritical” rhymes with “apolitical.”
An amazing talented artist: very clever lyrics, playing in the style of the subject matter, great vocals. I was a fan in the mid 60’s and had several of his records, but didn’t realize there was so much other material. Great work, Tom !!!
