Really enjoyed his songs, very un-PC by today’s standards. Made fun of Reagan a lot, but also Dems. You’ll never see the likes of him in today’s ultra-PC, polarized political world.

My Dad was a HUGE Mark Russell fan back in the 60s and 70s. Those were the great Art Buchwald days, too. The pair of them could write with the best and keep you in stitches.

RIP, Mr. Russell.

We got dems who won’t obey the law. Satire doesn’t work against them anymore. They are clawing and scratching and doing all sorts of lawbreaking to stay in power. Russell was ok for that time....now, few would listen to him.

Insufferable elitist. But still a human being. And I have no idea what sort of blessedness he may have offered those who knew him personally.

Truthfully, I thought he died 25 years ago.

Saw his skit a few times and it seemed like he was always on PBS.

Wow, I just looked at his profile on Wikipedia two days ago.

He was fun to listen to.

I enjoyed watching him live in the lounge of the old Shoreham Hotel, back in the 1960’s. That was his regular gig.

Farewell, and thanks for the laughs...back when we could laugh at each other on a political level.

Was never a Russell fan. I liked Tom Lehrer who was much better at this schtick (though preferred Lehrer’s non-political songs - “The Vatican Rag” and “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” were the funniest songs I ever heard.)
