Brian Wolff is alleged to have passed away in Toronto.  Maybe he was fleeing creditors.  I wrote a song for him.

 

To change the subject  …Mel Brooks’ Hitler rap,

“A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over; and I maintain that if a person can put a few cold, common sense facts into a song, and dress them… up in a cloak of humor to take the dryness off them, he will succeed in reaching a great number of workers who are too unintelligent or too indifferent to read a pamphlet or an editorial in economic science.”–Joe Hill

Oooh, look, a prophet. http://www.bostonreview.net/BR36.5/noam_chomsky_responsibility_of_intellectuals_redux.php
