...generally looks in the other direction when teenagers listening to the Flaming Lips (or their parents listening to Big Brother & The Holding Company) toke up in the evenings. When they do run into trouble, legal help is easy and effective. Nobody worries too much about serving hard time for smoking pot at home, and even hard-nosed stalwarts of the law have given up on prosecuting every offense of petty possession. At Harvard, certainly, we’re more likely to get into trouble for covering up our fire extinguisher to keep it from squawking at the smoke than...

Maybe Hot Chip escaped unscathed because of their foreign passports. In that sense, Avril Lavigne is popular for the same reasons that compel the Parisians to exclusively smoke Lucky Strikes (and the Americans to smoke Gauloises, which the French largely eschew). Plus, the problem with a bunch of French bands is that they perform in English. It’s not that the preposterously bilingual French can’t understand the lyrics; it’s more...
