The last time I was in DC was for Carter's inauguration. A good man of good character.

I just heard about Ozzy
With apologies to non-Sabbath fans this is one of my favorite live videos in the world
The world has not moved on much
Sad, making me feel so old

I will admit I am high on the alternative reading of the thread title on this one. I'll leave the details out of this thread, as it is supposed to be, well, not that other thread.

Tom Lehrer.
Quote
Per Associated Press: He began to teach part-time at Santa Cruz in the 1970s, mainly to escape the harsh New England winters.
From time to time, he acknowledged, a student would enroll in one of his classes based on knowledge of his songs.
“But it’s a real math class,” he said at the time. “I don’t do any funny theorems. So those people go away pretty quickly.”
