I have heard a couple of his concerts(?) many years back. I remember they were entertaining.
A thought just hit me, during the 90’s a sitcom named News Radio aired for several seasons. In that show the character Bill McNeil was played by Phil Hartman. He had several episodes where he would play a piano and sort of sing goofy political songs - usually only lasted a few seconds or so since it was a tv sitcom - but I remember wondering if Phil Hartman modeled that on Tom Lehrer or maybe a combo of him and someone else…

Anyway, sad to see another soul pass. I hope where he is that he is surrounded by love.
