Dylan) and Toni Basil was the opening act.....not my cuppa tea....... anyhoo, some woman behind me was positively IN-FUSED with the stuff....at first i thought someone had eaten pastrami, puked it up all over themselves and then came to the show anyway.....she was seated right behind me and I was gagging all the way through the opening act.
Luckily she got up and left in between sets, so the Dylan show was patchouli free
actually in MODERATION I don't mind the stuff. but only if the underlying user is clean - and being outdoors helps (even better on a MC - with them behind you!!
)
mind, it could be worse than your memories....I've had the displeasure of being around 90s hipsters who eschew bathing in the interest of bohemianism, sans patchouli smokescreen...trust me, it's NOT an improvement.
