Not no mo’
Funny, I turned to Uncle B last week and said, “Is Tom Lehrer still with us?” And he was. Then.
Interesting guy. You’ll likely see all sorts of tributes online – mathematics professor turned musician and back into a mathematics professor. He didn’t like performing. What I didn’t know was that he invented the Jell-o shot.
The article makes that claim and then doesn’t back it up. Huh.
He’s well worth a YouTube search. And he put all his music and lyrics into the public domain, so you can steal at will. As he said, “If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while.”
p.s. Uncle B had to shoot a rabbit with myxomatosis in the garden a while ago. Nice for him.
