“Last month, Homme made headlines during a Detroit show where he flouted the venue’s smoking ban, risking a $10,000 fine to take a stand against “fuckin’ corporate assholes” who “tell you what to do” (while his band, um, voluntarily play those corporate assholes’ corporate venue for a fat pay cheque).
