Great comedian - love "The Elements," but musically, he's more like folk music or just a stage comedian who sings funny songs - not rock and roll, nor ever tried. Songwriters Hall of Fame is a better fit.

RIP Tom Lehrer. Some great memories with his music and lyrics in high school. One of the funniest and cleverest lyricists of all time.
