"It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."

Tom Lehrer.

[NooneAtAll3]

Mozart lived for 35 years

Lehrer did 97

[palmotea]

> Lehrer did [sic] 97

FYI, most people speak the vast majority of their quotes before the day they die.

[hbn]

Unfortunately for Lehrer he embarrassed himself in his final words by misremembering how long Mozart lived

[simonh]

He’ll never live it down.

[contextfree]

No he was correctly factoring in afterlife time dilation

[lubujackson]

Classic old guy

[VeninVidiaVicii]

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

[latexr]

I sure hope they speak all of them before they die. Bit hard to understand a corpse.

It is possible Lehrer said that before his last day on earth. Sometime around age 37 would make sense.

In fact, I had the original album from the 1960s and, yes, that's where I heard the line.

(Lehrer was a mathematician) he did the maths! Well.. arithmetic.

[SoftTalker]

Was that the new math or the old?
