  1. Sad to hear, he was one of my favorite performers. I mean who could not like "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" or his ragtime on hate between ethnic groups? Large video and audio catalog out there, hope many will continue to enjoy his work RIP Tom, you will be missed.

  2. I liked him despite his left-of-center politics, because he was quite willing to lob shells into his own camp when he felt they needed it. "The Folk Song Army" and "National Brotherhood Week" come to mind. That was a strength that the old National Lampoon and MAD magazines had---they played no favorites.
