Another chance to look up Lehrer facts. He's 82 this year! To think someone attending UC-Santa Cruz in the 90s could take a class on infinity and a class on musical theater from him in the same quarter...
I do hope that Lehrer's "The Vatican Rag" can be featured this week. It would mean so, so much to all of us lapsed, excommunicated, transreligioned, "questioning" [wtf, Papa Rat?!], or otherwise non-Kool-Aid-swilling one-time Catholics out here.
