Sounds about right, he’s a witty man. He did comment that satire had become obsolete when he heard about Kissinger’s prize. But he had given up performing and gone back to full time teaching by then. I had one of his albums on vinyl, but it disappeared long ago.

I miss Tom Lehrer. It was a sad day when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Lehrer has often quoted Twain in remarking that rumors of his death are greatly exaggerated.
