Thread Name: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Alright, I'm sticking my neck out here to say that I heard "Smokers Are Scum" live at Chester's in Berkeley last weekend and I thought it was funny.I laughed out loud when it began to sound like the sputtering of a small angry child. But I think intemperate ranting is funny sometimes. I often rant about things on paper until I get so outrageous I make myself laugh.
And, in the interest of full disclosure, I will say that Carol is a good friend of mine and that I grew up with chain smokers and have some lung damage as a result of that. I will add that, thanks to Carol, it is now illegal to smoke at bus stops in Berkeley and for that I, a bus rider, am entirely grateful (and yes, I still run into people who insist on smoking on the bus bench, despite the posted citation).
I like the song. Uh-oh.
