JB is right, Child of the 50's is a very important comedy record - really one of the first of the "new" wave of stand-up comedy style that started around that time - a more personal/less jokey-joke style, with personal politics thrown in.

So I was thinking of playing off that and using this:
The Police - Born In The 50s

But change it to "Child of the 50's"

He has a bunch of songs on his records, but Mind of Matter is my favorite - very Janis Ian meets Steely Dan.
