Even an oppressive place like Minneapolis has an exception for smoking during performances on stage. As long as it’s art, it’s OK.

"adding that it had not received any complaints from the public."

Doh!

Though when have the "public" ever mattered?

From blowing their minds in the 60’s to blowing smoke onstage in the new millenium, the reaction from the authorities is still the same. And, I might add,
so is the reaction from the Stones.

It's a crime, and a horrific one.

Great Britain 17,000 blinded by fags (Smoking, that is)

Great Britain Next, a ban on smoking in our parks and open spaces (indoor ban began yesterday)

SCOTLAND BANS SMOKING (Nationwide ban in all enclosed public places)

U.K.Children urged to pressure parents on smoking

UK New quit [smoking] pill will be on NHS

Pub patio heaters for smokers will produce 'as much pollution as a small city'

Only liberals can get around the rules for the “little people”. Better Midler clear cutting in Hawaii and now the Stones smoking where nobody else is allowed.

What next, only algor will be allowed to pollute

I heard that if Keith breathes clean air he’ll die.

Smoking then, being fully equal in stature from the legal perspective, as say, flag burning.

Who ever would have thought that forty years after the bad boys of rock 'n' roll were breaking out of the oppression of their parents' mores that (1) Keith would still be breathing, (2) the Stones would still be performing, and (3) they would be shocking an uptight establishment twenty years their junior by...by...by smoking cigarettes.

Sometimes I can't help but feel that wrong turn I took outside Albuquerque ended me up in a parallel universe.

Keith hasn’t breathed in 40 years. He’s a zombie - didn’t you know?
