Tom Lehrer, the musical satirist par excellence of the 1950s and 1960s, died this past July at age 97. Many listeners and their progeny grew up listening to and singing his compelling compositions: easy to remember, easy to sing and easy to finish. Who could forget “The Vatican Rag” or “The Elements?”
What some might not know is that, from 1972 to 2001, in flight from East Coast winters, Tom also taught math and theater at UC Santa Cruz, as a lecturer in American Studies. Along the way, he made many friends and inspired countless students. This tribute includes music, interviews with friends and colleagues and biographical information.
