@cstross that is sad news.
@cstross
‘My songs spread like herpes’: why did satirical genius Tom Lehrer swap worldwide fame for obscurity?
@cstross Wit and musicality. My maths teacher in High School introduced us to his songs.
@cstross but he said we'll all go together when we go.
@cstross Wait what he was still alive? Don't expect that from a guy you've only ever seen in black-and-white.
@cstross Ah, balls. A long life well lived. And kudos for releasing all his music into the public domain a few years ago.
@cstross That... hit harder than I thought it would.
@cstross
Oh, that's a loss. A truly clever and funny person.
