hokuto-ju-no-ken:sintheyokai:hokuto-ju-no-ken:awed-frog:Fuck, that’s actually true: “Mr Kissinger, who allegedly orchestrated the mass bombing in Cambodia in 1969 and in Vietnam and Laos in the 1970s as secretary of state under Richard Nixon…was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for his efforts to conclude the Vietnam War. The award was described by critics as a move which ‘made political satire obsolete’. The Vietnam war was not over until 1975.”The critic who said that was Tom Lehrer, who was known for political and social satire music (I highly recommend you look him up, he’s hilarious) and it actually did cause him to just.. stop. Wasn’t Tom Lehrer the guy who wrote the Element Song and the song about killing pigeons with his sweetheart on a Sunday afternoon in the spring in the park?He also sang the Masochism TangoAnd a song about how nuclear war won’t be so bad because we’ll all die togetherhe also did a song called “New Math” which is unsurprisingly not so new anymore -- source link
