> Loudon Wainright III outside the context of John Peel

He was a regular guest on Jasper Carrott's UK show in the late 80s. It was most strange context-switching from a genial Brummie comedian to an acerbic American singer.

He also performed several times in MASH, one of the biggest sitcoms of all time.

Edit: Song for Loudon Wainwright III by his daughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdvk7O3Tz6A. Don't know if he deserves it or not, but it's a remarkable song.

FYI, I appreciate your use of “acerbic”. Thank you for making the Effort to use a “fancy” word.
Didn't he do "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road"?
