And Finally

Muse in trouble for smoking in Australia

Oh dear, Muse are bad boys. Or at least bassist Chris Wolstenholme is. When the band recently played the Ron Laver Arena in Melbourne, he was caught flouting a smoking ban by, well, smoking.

According to MTV, he initially tried to hide the fact he was breaking the rules by only smoking when dry ice was being pumped onto the stage, but eventually gave up this plan because it was stupid. Either that, or he’s so bloody anti-establishment he just wanted to be caught. That’s probably it. Muse are, after all, well known for their “anti-establishment” ways. I said that just the other day. “Aren’t Muse just, like, so anti-establishment”, I said.

Anyway, venue rep Jo Juler said: “Officials spoke to the band before and after the show and we were extremely disappointed when they decided to flaunt our strict no-smoking policy. They are known as an anti-establishment style of performance group, but it was still sad that they decided to go ahead regardless”.

See, she said it too. Fight the power, Muse, you crazy anarchists, you.
