Thread Name: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Smokey,

Indeed. It would appear, as I have said before, that the appeal of this song must lie in its performance. It was written after the incident described by Carol and as a direct reaction to that incident, information we were all lacking at the beginning of this fascinating thread. Without that information the lyrics just read like an indiscriminate attack on ALL smokers, whether thoughtful or thoughtless. So, yes, a link to a video of it being performed, preferably with an introduction explaining the circumstances, would be very interesting.
