To commemorate the passing of Jimmy Swaggart, some sage words from someone who summed him up best;
“Now Jimmy, he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinners
Self-righteous clown”
(Chorus)
“(Miracle Man) got busted”

Lazy web. There was a music video maybe a decade ago where a band synced their song to a computer program you could download and play. Anyone remember it?
Saying "this old song is better than 99% of music today" misses the obvious point that the song in question was also better than 99% of music of *its* time. You know about this song because it was great. You know almost nothing about the trash music of that era.

A sad passing of a pillar of my sense of humor. My father gave me a copy of That Was the Year That Was when I was about 10 years old and it tickled me in a way that little has since, save maybe Monty Python. May you rest in peace with no pigeons to be found. 🐦

#TomLehrer who passed away yesterday at 97: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/27/entertainment/tom-lehrer-death and https://variety.com/2025/music/obituaries-people-news/tom-lehrer-dead-satirist-topical-singer-songwriter-1236471506/ ... I still recall how I first learned about him, long after he had ended his musical career, in a German radio feature ("Ein Narr verstummt") - in 1980.

There's no Top of the Pops #TOTP tonight because some people are sitting in a field in Somerset, but of course I'm not going to let a little thing like that stop me from wittering on about Old Time Music.
Anyway I've just relistened (for the first time in about a bazillion years) to Ballroom Blitz by the Sweet. And however much we laugh about glam rock, you can't deny it's a glorious joyful piece of music.

In addition to the praise from others for his wit, the sharpness of his satire, and his musicianship, I’ll add that Tom Lehrer’s rhymes reached heights of ingenious absurdity that are simply without peer.
I mean…who else can touch this? No, that is not a question; it is a statement. Music starts at 1:09:

Lovely business card my mom made for me back on the 80s when all of my musical efforts involved classical guitar.
Played some nice local solo recitals, was in an early music trio, and even got to play with chamber music groups a few times. And of course the inevitable wedding and restaurant work.

RIP Tom Lehrer, brilliant satirical songwriter.
I was introduced to him by my high school chemistry teacher via the Elements song, but one that resonates with me now is "Wernher Von Braun." Like all his songs, he released it to the public domain a few years ago:

"Why the Left lost on Trans Rights" - a conversation between Sarah McBride and Ezra Klein. Below the link to YouTube, but you can also find it as a podcast. It's not about Trans rights, really. It's about the culture war; grace; demanding perfection in action and flawlessness in language instead of accepting allyship in substance and grace when someone is trying; about not having space to think differently.
