#2 Mumbles is pretty familiar with these guys. A few years back, their April Fools joke was that Menino was killed in a car crash, which came as quite a shock to Menino's family, seeing that they weren't in on the joke when they heard the story. It got them canned out of their first major gig.

#6 I guess it shames and humiliates the Homeless to be seen by Regular People. They should saty out of sight where they belong, right Mayor? Sarcasm off.
