"Pay To Play' Hits YouTube
Chicago attorney finds fun in political embarrassments

Just when you thought you'd seen it all in local politics, a Chicago attorney releases a country & western music video on YouTube.
At just short of three minutes, the video runs through a series of political embarrassments seen in Chicago government.
"You've got to pay-to-play in this town
If you wanna make that deal go down
It's who you know inside the Big Machine
Just find the man that's behind the man
And put some money in his hand
That's how we try to keep our city green"
The Chicago Reader featured Matthew Farmer's "Pay to Play (But Keep Love in Your Heart)," a tongue-in-cheek review that brings a little levity to the current boondoggle.
