The Impromptu British Traffic Choir

It's always nice to hear something happy amongst the news of corruption, death and various threats. The BBC (read: one of the world's largest news networks) is spending time to report on a choral group singing at a busy roundabout in England to make drivers in a traffic jam happier. The organizer noted that the impromptu concert started as a protest against pollution in the area, but then commented that the greater impact was probably in making drivers happier on a particularly unpleasant day. The singing brought smiles to faces, she said, and someone threw a flower to the choir.
