Most nights, though, we had a hard time selling even 20 percent of the tickets in what were already tiny venues. In Paris we played a legendary punk-rock club, L’Arapaho. The Damned had played there. The Clash had played there. And then I played there. It held two hundred people and we sold ninety tickets. By the end of my show, over half the ninety people had walked out and there were forty people in the venue.
