1. I saw it for the first time last night.
Definitely, definitely disturbing. I think that's the point.

7. It's two guys who sit down to sing in the midst of a crowd
One has the guitar, the other is the singer. And then the "singer" pulls out some kind of vocal-translation thing (I don't know the right word(s) for it) and begins to "sing"... through a trach hole in his throat. The words of the song are "Tobacco doesn't always kill you..." And the crowd kind of mills around, staring at them. It's pretty creepy.

5. Is that the singing cowboy without a larynx?
Yeah, it got the point across rather well.
