Re: REF: Mark Russell/Tom Lehrer

[Giulia Greenberg <greenber@ASCENT.NET>]

I'm sure they are not related, although you're right -- they do have similar
voices.  However, Mark Russell's topic is always politics, whereas Tom
Lehrer used many different subjects for his comedy. I particularly liked his
Lobachevsky routine, which is about plagiarism.
  I think Tom Lehrer's work is more durable because of his subject matter.
I also think he's funnier.
