FRIDAY MUSIC: Tom Lehrer, by JD
Tom Lehrer was born on April 9, 1928 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. He was a composer and actor, known for A Gathering of Eagles (1963), Marty Back Together Again (1974) and The Cure (2011). He died on July 26, 2025 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
He entered Harvard at age 15, having skipped several grades. Everyone applying for admission to Harvard was required to include an example of their written work. Lehrer submitted a long verse, in the style of W.S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan, which concluded: “I will leave movie thrillers/And watch caterpillars/Get born and pupated and larva’d/And I’ll work like a slave/And always behave/And maybe I’ll get into Harva’d.” The poem in its entirety appeared in “Scholastic Magazine” in 1943. It was Lehrer’s first published work.
“I’ve occasionally heard that I was kicked out [of Harvard] for being a Communist, for dealing drugs, for corrupting minors, or for diverse other infractions of local decorum. Unfortunately, none of these rumours are true. The one I’ve heard more often is that I am dead. That one I encouraged, hoping it would cut down on the junk mail. It didn’t.”
