Oh my god! That one guts me. I LOVE his music. Went and saw him the Galveston Opera house back in the late 80's. He was an amazing musician.

I always wondered if Chuck was the inspiration for Snoopy's brother Spike.

I thought he died years ago in the Arlen Mega-Lo-Mart disaster.

Tom Lehrer has passed. He was about 97.

Most of the young around here have probably never heard of him, but he was a very brilliant lyricist. Honest-l-y, I didn't know he was still alive.

I read about him this morning. He had quite the interesting life.

None of the song titles mentioned rang a bell but I'm sure I heard some of them if Dr. Demento played them.

One of his more notable songs was the one about the Periodic Table. The dude from Harry Potter performed it recently

Another. My brother and I would come home from school and turn on cable to WGN and catch Cub day games.

Geddy Lee of Rush is a huge baseball fan.

He credits Cubs games being on during the day on WGN as getting him into baseball. They would wake up late while on tour after doing a show the night before. There wouldn't be anything good on tv but the Cubs were on every day so he would keep that on in the hotel room.

Baseball died a little when Wrigley got lights.

Yeah, reminds me of the Statler Brothers song with the line:

"When the lights go on at Wrigley field, I'll be coming home to you"

I guess that guy went home a while back.

An historical oddity. When Pearl Harbor was bombed, the Cubs had been planning to install lights at Wrigley. In fact the lights were laid out at Wrigley and were to go up in time for the 1942 season.

After Pearl Harbor, Mr. Wrigley donated the lights (and the steel poles they were to be mounted on) to the war effort. Lights wouldn't be installed until 1988, and that was because the National League said in 1986 that they would no longer be allowed to host playoff games without lights. Their "home" park was to be Busch Stadium in St. Louis for any playoff games.

At least this is how Milo Hamilton told it back in 1988.

I remember similarly. Cubs were told they could not host playoff games without lights (like they were consistently good up to that point).

I also remember the hoopla around the first night game. The Cubs hit a line drive all the way to the wall in the 9th. The opposing outfielder fielded the ball at the wall, and one of the bleacher bums poured a beer on him. The announcers wondered how someone still had a beer in the 9th when they stopped selling in the 7th.
