So, a reserved decision

The Concert Archive folks and me must move in different circles. None of my formative live music experiences are on their list. My first real international band was Poison at the Mt Smart Supertop during the height of hair-metal in the late 80's. I recall a gig by the Angels at Claudelands showgrounds which doesn't show on their list. And in about 1991 Pop Will Eat Itself played at The Club in Hamilton. I was at the first Big Day Out and a year or so later the Smashing Pumpkins were at the Supertop. Mixed in throughout were gig by local outfits like Knightshade and Whisper/Scream.
Ah, memories! -

Ma quale luce
apre l'ombra, da quel balcone?
Ecco l'oriente, e Giulietta e il sole!
Oh, e la mia donna, e il mio amore!Verona, Italy.

I'm dubious about legalisation as described in the article. I'm very much in favour of decriminalisation though. Making it no longer an offense to possess, use or grow limited amounts of marijuana, while keeping it illegal to sell it would remove much of the incentive for criminal activity around it.
As soon as you let anyone start selling it, regardless of laws and regulations, whether it is private industry or a single state supplier, you risk all the temptations of increasing income at the expense of the vulnerable, either deliberately, or by omission.
I think the Government would see more than enough money come in though savings in dope enforcement from decriminalisation to make it financially worthwhile, even if they (and they should) increase funding to education and health aid. -

Hard News: Friday Music: The Story, in reply to JacksonP,
That's the kind of line you'd only get be having Sasha Frere-Jones write your album review. Brilliant.
But I'm pretty sure that when Duffy sang the song, it was called "Warwick Avenue".
