Comment:

My adopted hometown of Somerville, MA recently passed a smoking ban (following Boston & Cambridge) covering bars & restaurants. The effect has been crippling, and those of us with interests (business or recreational) in the local bars have been either ignoring the ban or leaning on the mayor to revoke it (via pressure on the board of health, an un-elected tribunal). All the chatter led to another public hearing on the ban, which made the local news due to the "feisty" exchanges. After taping the whole meeting from the local cable station, I decided to whip up a mix using sound clips & relevant songs. This is the result of many late, late nights at the computer. The songs are wrapped with quotes from the speakers, clips from the Simpsons & South Park, and vintage radio cigarette ads (details in the comments below). I think it's gonna go over big!
