## Resource

In Cranford, New Jersey, a township council meeting turned unexpectedly musical when resident William Thilly, 52, took the mic to belt out Morrissey and Lizzo—not for fun alone, but to protest government abuse. Already viral for breakdancing last year, Thilly returned with a sign reading “Refuse Govt. Abuse” and an impromptu concert, using song and stage to demand transparency. Broadcast live on public access TV and shared online, his performance turned a mundane meeting into an internet spectacle—proof that when people get a platform, they’ll bring their whole selves, including their playlist.
