So we're supposed to play in curitiba in 18 hours, but our bus is being held hostage by the local promoters. They've formed some unholy alliance with the brazilian counterpart of ascap: the prs.
Rently the prs has the legal power to arrest people, and they want a piece of the national tour promoter's money. The local security force, "gang mexicana", has been bought out for 180
Zados and a carton of marlboros each. The only faction still operating in our defense is "big john", our personal security man, and he's hiding in his room because a local gang is out

And there were 6000 kids in curitiba who just wouldn't understand.
We knew it was time for action. Paul went up to the prs guys and invited them into the bar to discuss it like civilized men over a few brazilian drinks, offering each of them a cigar on his way.
Amused prs heavies seemed to like the idea of a few free drinks, even if they knew they would never give us our bus back. When paul winked at jim and I on his way in, we went into action.
I stole off to my room to prepare while jim went into action. Creeping carefully through a service duct, he managed to gain a vantage point some three meters above the bus, and dropped carefully

At this point, he asked himself "now how shall I get out of here? !? "
Paul was having difficulties of his own.
"couldn't you see your way clear to letting us fulfill our contractual obligations in curitiba? think of the kids!"
Through our translator, fabio, the prs man, aldo, said:
"no. You americans think you own the world. Hah! We'll burn down our rain forest if we damn well please. We need room for cows!! We want a mcdonald's on every... Oh, sorry, yes anyway, no.
Ed 40% of your concert receipts to give to david bowie, " he said, winking to the local promoter, phillipe.
