Haha,

I saw The Doors in Helsinki last summer, where the smoking ban is observed in
the Finnish, strict no nonsense, no exceptions way (David Bowie was turned away
from a club by a bouncer in the 80s for not wearing a tie!). The singer didn't
seem to grasp this and kept urging "This next song is the perfect song to light
up that joint!" throughout the gig.

Good gig though - despite the bass player whose solo was just embarrassing. The
irony...

(Sorry for the off-topic)

product of the many visitors, i guess. anyway, the
anti-smoking police go to bed at 10...
