Let's see; banning Shakespear, Grease, Arthur Miller. I can't figure out if it's the fault of snake handlers or simpering liberals.

When I was in high school back in the late 60s and early 70s, we put on all sorts of interesting plays and musicals, some of which may even have involved the portrayal of smoking and drinking. We even put on Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story."

Indeed. I played the leading male character in our High Schools senior play. It was a terrible play, but it did involve my smoking a cigarette in the second act, and kissing a girl in the third act. She and I had a wonderful time rehearsing that scene. Ah, the memories.

"The Zoo Story" is a wonderful play! I love Jerry's speech at the end.

My senior year of high school in 1984 we did "Mr. Hobbs Vacation" (There is a movie with a similar title staring Jimmy Stewart circa early 60s, with Maureen O'hara (she has got to be one of the most beautiful actresses of all time, if I can start digressing)).

I got to be a drunken neighbor, and my yearbook has a picture of me, standing on a table holding a bottle of Jack Daniels (filled with Pepsi).

Ah the times have changed......

And while I'm thinking about it, let's put up a pic....
