  • Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing over 480,000 people per year.
  • Secondhand smoke causes more than 41,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.

Ken Burns did a nice 10-part documentary on the history of country music. Also a series on jazz. Both series are recommended.

NPR did a story on B and a few stories on black cow pokes. Only with so many black cow pokes did the word “cowboy” get invented. It was made white by Hollywood.
