  John Forster - LoveToKnow 1911
JOHN FORSTER (1812-1876), English biographer and critic, was born on the 2nd of April 1812 at Newcastle.
After being well grounded in classics and mathematics at the grammar school of his native town, John Forster was sent in 1828 to Cambridge, but after only a month's residence he removed to London, where he attended classes at University College, and was entered at the Inner Temple.
Forster is said to have been for some time engaged to Letitia Landon, but the engagement was broken off, and Miss Landon married George Maclean.

 John Forster: Essayist, Historian, and Editor, 1812-1876.

Forster's rooms at 58 Lincoln's Fields, his home from 1834 until his marriage in 1856, are said to be the basis for the residence of the lawyer Tulkinghorn in Bleak House.
Forster advised Dickens legally when the novelist separated from his wife in the 1850s, and was one of the executors of Dickens's will.

John Forster reminds a lot of people of Tom Lehrer, which makes sense when you consider both are from Harvard and both write wickedly funny songs.
For "The Juice A La Seuss" Forster gives a live recitation of a poem regarding the O.J. Simpson case in verse reminiscent of "The Cat in the Hat" (Thing 1 and Thing 2 are now the blood in the Bronco and the low-speed chase in the Bronco).
It's hard to describe John Forster in such a way that you can understand how good he is. Perhaps it's best to say that even now, when I've heard this album about a couple of dozen times, I'd be afraid to put it on a portable player and listen to it in public.

 TheHistoryNet | Wild West | John Forster and the American Conquest of California
The English-born John Forster helped his brother-in-law, California Governor Pio Pico, escape to Mexico in 1846, but then he assisted the American forces who had come West to take possession of the pastoral paradise by the sundown sea.
A century and a half prior to his induction, Forster, who was English by birth and Mexican by naturalization, had declared his allegiance to the United States and singularly contributed to its acquisition of California.
Forster, though an Englishman and brother-in-law of both the Californio governor and the commander of the insurgents, determined that the pragmatic thing to do was to offer assistance to the Americans.

 John Forster : Entering Marion - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
"You have John Forster." This was high praise from the reclusive master of comedy music, but most critics agree that it was deserved.
On Entering Marion Forster slung barbed songs in all directions and arranged them with sheer genius -- listen to the way he skewered Paul Simon in "Fusion," using music from Simon's whole career.
(Given that Forster wrote for other artists for six years before releasing his album, one suspects that plenty of minor material was tossed aside.) One of the most brilliant moments is "Way Down Deep, You're Shallow," a love song from one really unlovable person to another.

 My Family Tree and The Forsters of Northumberland
One Forster had 23 children and others too had many-both legitimate and illegitimate-and anything in the nature of a complete family tree is quite impossible.
The branch of the family which lived in Bamburgh derived from Sir John Forster in the 1500's but there was so much intermarriage with the Forster's of Adderstone that it is reasonable to regard the two families as one.
Be that as it may, it was the Bamburgh Forster's who became rich and powerful and whose decline in the eighteenth century was all the more remarkable for it.

 John Forster, "The Life of Charles Dickens" (3)
On new-year's-eve they dined with me, and I with them on new-year's-day; when (his house having been taken for the period of his absence by General Sir John Wilson) we sealed up his wine-cellar, after opening therein some sparkling Moselle in honour of the ceremony, and drinking it then and there to his happy return.
Next morning (it was a Sunday) I accompanied them to Liverpool, Maclise having been suddenly stayed by his mother's death; the intervening day and its occupations have been humorously sketched in his American book; and on the fourth they sailed.
They were most beautiful singers: and when they began, in the dead of the night, in a long, musical, echoing passage outside our chamber door; singing, in low voices to guitars, about home and absent friends and other topics that they knew would interest us; we were more moved than I can tell you.

Seuss with vocal hints of Jerry Garcia and Maurice Chevalier, Forster takes listeners through a sometimes silly, often provoking voyage through the true EuroDisney, the New York road system, and the confused world of opera.
