Unapologetically eccentric for decades.
@suddenlysusan I feel like arguing for no reason. Night Court was not Harry Andeson’s best show, nor was it John Laroquette’s. It was, however, Markie Post’s.
My oddball theory - if Mort Sahl had died when Lenny Bruce did, we would be talking about Sahl in revered tones and not at all about Bruce. Mort Sahl had a better peak and aged poorly.
@Jcinpv it has been a pleasure corresponding with you. Thanks! (Honestly the most substantive discussion I’ve had on Mastadon)
@Jcinpv Randy Newman is a great call. Randy Newman even called him one of the best lyricists ever.
@Jcinpv I tried to describe him to my brother as “Weird Al, except he taught mathematics at Harvard and worked at the NSA.”
@Jcinpv that’s what he claims. It was a way to get around army regs regarding alcohol consumption. Which - dude - makes sense!
Like. You think Elon Musk is a genius? Imagine if I told you a guy was a top recording artist, taught mathematics and invented a way to get you drunk. That’s Ton Lehrer.
Sorry. I’m getting ahead of the obits.
Always stunned no one’s heard of Tom Lehrer, particularly those who have had multiple Jell-O shots and never wondered what kind of genius crafted such an invention.
