Words fail me.
Having listened to that song just now for the first time in decades, I have one question -- how the hell did Lehrer get away with that in 1953?
PS: I know I promised that actual power pop related stuff would go up here today, but I couldn't help myself.
Tomorrow for sure!!!
Where is Tom when we need him? Imagine the field day he'd be having right now with the mess we're currently in.

ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, Lehrer got away with it by self-publishing, releasing and distributing his own records and songs.
ReplyDeleteReprise later bought them up and re-released them, but by then he was safe enough to be on tv.
