In 2014 bought an Ego with an Evod and smoked and vaped for about 2 month till I realized I liked vaping better and never bought cigarettes again. Tried a cigarette a few years ago and it was awful. Two wolves fight within us. One is evil, one is good. The one that wins is the one we feed. Working...

MarcF Verified JoinedJan 2014 Posts 1010 Reviews 9 Kudos1458	+6 details vape8ion What strikes me the most from that period of time is the little amount of money that was invested in these tours. When I saw Hendrix ( and I was straight for that concert ) a guy jumped the stage and stole Jimi's microphone. After the second song. Well, believe me or not, Hendrix got on the other microphone that the bassist was using and pleaded with the thief to bring it back, because they DID'NT HAVE A BLOODY SPARE !!! Guy never brought it back...Jimi sang with the bassist the whole show. Imagine that today....it would be unthinkable. When woodstock was in full swing, at the very same time, Terre Des Hommes had booked Zappa and the Mothers for 5 consecutive days, 2 shows a day for free. That's mainly why I never went to Woodstock...and happy I saw Zappa instead. All ten shows. Working...

vape8ion Verified JoinedOct 2013 Posts 13856 Reviews 45 Kudos21474	+7 details @Marc, In '69 I was working for a promoter as a gofer. I overheard a lot of negotiations with band managers for the festival being worked on. Jimi, being top draw, was paid top dollar....get this, 20 Grand total. This from receipts expected in the hood of around 2 million. Of course there were 30 other bands in the lineup. The whole event turned to shambles the first day when the un-ticketed crowd crashed the fencing and overwhelmed security. After the event, I was told, the promoter skipped with the gate and no-one got paid beyond deposits. That is except Jimi and Eric Burdon who negotiated to be paid off as they took the stage. At around 2:20 the two dudes behind Jimi's amps are my best friends at the time....I am in the tower above where the film is being shot. Edited on 8/2/2020 at 11:58 AM. Reason: I'm out.....have some fun. Eh? Working...

MarcF Verified JoinedJan 2014 Posts 1010 Reviews 9 Kudos1458	+4 details I know......they were all paid peanuts, and a lot of expenses were paid by the band themselves. The first band to gouge the price of tickets was the Stones. Well, not the Stones....Mick Jagger decided to go frm 3/4 dollars to 12.50...and they also started to fire a lot of managing thieves who were robbing everyone blind. Jaggers studies in a business school paid off in the end. BTW.....nice gig you got there 😎 Working...

RussG Verified JoinedMay 2015 Posts 3947 Reviews 106 Kudos4463	+3 details 37 yrs. I was a really needy smoker. I'd walk out of meetings with my CEO present, come back in stinking of fags. Guess I got away with it as they pittied me. Typical morning. Wife & kids eat breakfast, I was straight ot the door for another cig. Probably took me best part of a year mix & matching stinkies with 24mg on cartos and later ProTank minis to quit. Nowadays zero nic atties, drip a little nic in the evening. I have a 500ml bottle of 72mg that I will never finish. Bought two packs of stinkies last year, maybe buy another pack soon as is playing on my mind. No big deal, just a reminder that cigs taste awful. And they really do. How TF did I ever get myself hooked on these nasty things. Working...
