"If Joni Mitchell and Daffy Duck had a love child, he’d probably write songs just like John Forster. His sharply observed satires range from sheer slapstick to Jon Stewart acute, so it’s little wonder Cambridge songwriting legend Tom Lehrer says, “You don’t need me anymore—you’ve got John Forster to kick around.” –Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe"John Forster bestrides the current events scene like a colossus...His lyrics are refreshingly intellectual, reminiscent of Tom Lehrer and Cole Porter at their best...More creative and politically correct than Mark Russell and the Capitol Steps...His winning smile, expressive face and easy voice make the evening of original songs all too short." - Donna Coe, New York Post
"John Forster looks like an Episcopalian minister, but sings with adder tongue...A laser-swift wit glinting with irony...One of the sharpest musical satirists around." - J. Rudolph, The Free Press
"This silver-haired wonder has created a program that makes you think this is the best song you ever heard...until you hear the next one." - Jay Walman, Punch International
"Forster has the world view of George Carlin, the musical-parody chops of Frank Zappa in his glory days, musically and lyrically clever in ways that AI Yankovic can only dream about. - Paul D. Lehrman, The Boston Pheonix
"John Forster has claimed the satirical crown long abandoned by Tom Lehrer--he's one very funny songwriter." - Rich Warren, Sing Out! Magazine
