More on Tom Lehrer

The Register (as reigning Nerd-Central) has a really interesting post up about Lehrer's life and music including the NSA, Jello shots, and not one but two Royal Family mentions.  Pretty cool.

I had forgotten about the Jello shot creation -- dozens of Jimmy Buffett fans should pay royalties. He put all of his music in the public domain, and his response to the rapper who asked for permission to use his music was classic Tom Lehrer. Imagine writing a poem to get into Harvard at age 15!
R.I.P. Tom Lehrer

He was 'different', no question! May he rest in peace!
