“I really have a yen, to go back once again
To the place where no one ever wears a frown
To see once more the super special just plain folks
In my home town.”

He seems like a very conventional group thinker, despite his undoubted brilliance; he checked all the boxes.

Are you talking about Lehrer, or was that meant for another thread? I ask because I know little about him, but Doomcock sings a lot of his songs on his Friday livestreams and the songs do seem pretty leftist.

Yea. Lehrer.

Academics are insufferable leftists. Their claim to omniscience exempts them from having to produce.

Therefore they plunder.

Loved him. Had a couple of his comedy albums way back when. My two brothers and I could sing a few by heart. “Be prepared” was our favorite.
