Thread Name: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Smokey's right. We've been very patient and very kind in this thread, and given you the benefit of the doubt. Try as I might I can't find your song funny or satirical and it certainly isn't gentle.
I have hesitated to mention this before, but here we go - my brother died ten years ago from smoking related lung cancer.
Was he 'scum'?
Despite your own hostile attitude, we are giving you the chance to convince us that this song is worthwhile by letting us hear it performed and put into some kind of context.
And please don't tell us we're being 'hostile' and 'tiptoeing away from the issue'.
The issue is this song, as printed in the opening post, and most of the hostility has come from your direction.
