I swear to God, I have not met ONE European who does not smoke…This is the truth and i’m not overstating that in any way!!..Holy shit, I mean even walking down the street you can’t escape the smoke…The gigs in Copenhagen are smokefree now so that is cool but obviously not where I am playing now in St. Mortiz…It’s really fucking disgusting how bad the Big Tobacco companies have a hold on Europeans. No matter where I am around here I smell cigarettes of worse yet DISGUSTING Cigars!!…YUK!!!…I advise any Europeans reading this to quit that nasty fucking habit!. It’s gross…So many pretty women with gross cigarette smelling breath!!!…No enticing.


Cough cough… Ewwww.
Being a non-smoker I can relate to your situation, however insterad of looking at it as a hold on the Europeans, I look at it more as a measure of their preception of liberty. I think France is the “free-est” country in the world, and *everybody* smokes there. Get a Gig in Ireland -I think they’ve outlawed it country wide! Nice website (entrecard visit btw)
Actually I’ve discussed this with a bunch of people around here and they say it’s the Chinese that are the worst. I think they could be right from what I remember. Who knows?
OH ya..comes with the Territory of entertaining doesn’t it? The perfect world dream a non-smoke world!
Yep. Saw it in Germany and particularly France last week. I would walk into souvenir shops in tourist areas and come out smelling like I was in a bar for 5 hours.
Can’t wait to interview you on this European trip.
we ran your ’state of the scene’ in this issue. it’s at the printers now…
enjoy the rest of your trip, sean.
