This is a song about how I think people shouldn't drive cars in the city.

With a knack for biting commentary and eyebrow raising lyrics, Neil Conway is a fixture of the Newfoundland arts community. He is an events organizer, activist, and self proclaimed radical roots crooner. After growing up between rural Nova Scotia, Toronto and Montreal, Neil Conway hitch hiked to St. John's in 1998 and still can't get enough of the place. Since then he has had his fingers in many musical pies including his own solo project, The Somethin' Family, a hip-hop/funk/reggae group known as The Discounts, a reggae band called Skank as well as improvising with various groups. He has performed as a dancer/musician with Sara Stoker's Collective Gutsink and Lori Clark's Loose Confederacy. He has been a regular performer at Sound Symposium, Peace-a-Chord Arts and Social Justice Festival, as well as frequent trips to St. Pierre et Miquelon. His company, Funnerbunny Pro, is responsible for the annual Homegrown Dope Jam, The World Songwrestling Federation, the Heckle Me Awards Show, terminus1525.ca's Seagull Sideshow and regular events in various St. John's venues. He lives to dance and laugh and would like to see more people doing it.

Story behind the song
I wrote most of this in my head while riding a bicycle in Victoria BC last winter.
Lyrics
Roadblock I see you drive to the gym for the exercise bike Jump on the treadmill and go for a hike then you complain when fuel prices spike When you could just ride a real bike This is a roadblock to stop all your spewing We're gonna to put an end to what you are doing There’s lots of nice folks around trying to breath So you and your car can just leave Some of us live right here in the city You don't give a hoot. You ain't got no pity! But now that you see that your habits are shitty Will you have compassion? Just an itty bitty? You take too much air and are you aware that we must share and I have none to spare For me on my bike do you think it’s fair? What's that? I know! You don't care. This is a roadblock to stop all your spewing We're gonna make sure you have zero emissions Lots of nice folks around trying to breath So you and your car can just leave You and your hummer can leave
