    "AMY GOODMAN: And why didn’t he believe in World War I?

    "ERNIE HARBURG: Because [#YipHarburg] was a full, deep-dyed #socialist who did not believe that #capitalism was the answer to the human community and that indeed it was the destruction of the human spirit. And he would not fight its wars. And at that time, the socialists and the lefties, as they were called, Bolsheviks and everything else, were against the war."

  9. Here's another. Atheist poetry by Yip Harburg
    ATHEIST
    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only God can make a tree;

    And only God who makes the tree
    Also makes the fools like me.

    But only fools like me, you see,
    Can make a God, who makes a tree.

  13. Yip Harburg, famous atheist, did not know! Here's a link to some #poems. They include:
    MIRACLE
    We’re wise to prestidigitators,
    We’re hip to all theatrics,
    We know how rabbits turn to doves
    In all the magic hat tricks,
    But how did Mary’s manger
    Turn into the posh St. Patrick’s?

    MUTUAL ADMIRATION
    “Speaking of the Common Man,” said Lincoln,
    “God must love him.”
    And the Common Man, he must love God–
    He made so many of Him.

  17. Once in khaki suits
    Ah gee we looked swell
    Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
    Half a million boots
    went slogging through Hell
    & I was the kid with the 🥁
    Oh say don't you remember?
    They called me AL
    It was AL all the time
    Say don't you remember?
    I'm your pal!

  22. #EarwormOfTheDay #YipHarburg sends up America's #ClassWar c. 1947 in 'When the Idle Poor Become the Idle Rich,' including some slightly naughty wordplay. It's like "O noes #socialism! jk"

    I was listening to this original #Broadway cast album in the last couple of weeks - very much a capsule of its time, natch; also charming and so tuneful -
