SMOKING BAN IN BRITAIN and

IRELAND                  

Dorian Lynskey, The Guardian

• The 1st time I heard A Day in the Life, the thing that surprised me most wasn’t the radical structure of George Martin’s orchestration. It was Paul McCartney’s line about smoking on the bus. It seemed so improbably distant. Just like old adverts in which doctors recommend light cigarettes to mothers-to-be, lyrics sometimes provide that jolt.
