I never thought I'd be cheering for Harvard, but I do know a song for it!

Tom Lehrer, an alum of Harvard, did some scathingly brilliant songs back in the 1950's and '60's---(he's still alive at 97, btw)

And this one is due for a revival, thanks to Harvard being one of the few institutions blowing raspberries in the face of tsf

3. So glad Tom Lehrer is still with us.

I've been a fan of his great talents for at least 60 of his 97 years. Way back then, the local music stores wouldn't display his albums, because of the edgy nature of some of his songs; you had to ask for his records if you wanted to buy one.

4. harvard beats yale 29-29

I have no preference for either institution but this a fun little documentary.

5. And coming with the conclave, I'll have to dig out The Vatican Rag!

He pokes fun at everyone and has had a remarkable life (he wrote for the kids' show The Electric Company but also wrote some songs that are absolutely filthy without using any profane words) and performed before Queen Elizabeth II.
