I suppose that this isn't in very good taste right now, but the song was bouncing through my mind, so I wanted to share it.

I know I’m old because the thread title alone instantly made me think of the song.

That was back in the day when you could be satirical without being considered crazy.

I’d never heard of him. Seems very talented - was he an Abbie Hoffman sort of guy?

He was a lefty but never of the radical kind. He's from an era when you could be a liberal and still have a sense of humor. He was a doctoral candidate in mathematics at Harvard but I don't think he ever got his PhD.

After Harvard he worked at Los Alamos and for the NSA. I heard an interview on PBS once long ago where he said that his major accomplishment at the NSA was inventing the Jello shot. A worthy accomplishment if you ask me. He eventually left the NSA and was drafted into the army. G.d pity his sergeant.
