Famed #satirist andmathematician #TomLehrer enrolled at #Harvard at 15, where he studied math before joining US #Army, then returning to #Cambridge for a graduate degree. He gained renown locally for his parodies, which often took aim at divisive political issues & pushed the boundaries of propriety. His first album, which he paid to record in 1953 and sold at his performances, became a cult hit that ultimately propelled him to multiple world tours...#music #musician “That Was The Week That Was”

Good Morning

A quotation from Horace

But he that touches me, (hands off! I cry, —
Avaunt, and at your peril come not nigh!)
Shall for his pains be chaunted up and down,
The jest and byeword of a chuckling Town.
 
                                        [At ille,
Qui me conmorit (melius non tangere, clamo),
Fiebit et insignis tota cantabitur urbe.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 1, “Sunt quibus in Satira,” l. 44ff (2.2.44-46) (30 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

K. P. Sasi—one of the pioneers of #documentary #filmmaking in #India—passed away yesterday (December 25, 2022).

Also a #cartoonist, Sasi’s films retain a satirist’s perspective.

Last month #satirist #TomLehrer posted all of his albums and lyrics for download.

It says he no longer retains any rights to his music and that they are free to perform and post. And the site will shut down sometime in the not too distant future.

Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime."

Elon Musk was on Saturday Night Live, so was Trump. Both seem to be against satire / parody. It seems similar to Ben Shapiro or any sort of rich narcissist of power in the sense that they only laugh along if it's complimentary parody. Satire mostly punches up & THEY HATE THAT ! #satire #caricature #antiauthoritarian #antiauthoritarianism #satirist #satirical #narcissist #narcissism
