I seem to remember that GG sold the rights to his music some time ago, so he’s probably not making money off them. He’s in jail for longer than he’ll likely live anyway, so it hardly matters.

He’s a real good guy by all accounts.

This is how it was in the west only 30 years ago. When I first started work, people around me smoked at their desks, in cinemas, on buses, everywhere. Things have changed, obviously, but really there’s not much distance between them and us.

I worked at a company that had this a few years back, although they didn’t make a thing of it, it was just understood.
