What was he doing? Trying to be all "Oh-I'm-so-rebellious-I'm-going-to-smoke" (which is laughable, coming from the most conservative man in rock*) or just being a selfish pig? I suspect the latter - does he care that someone else (the theatre manager) is going to be given massive grief from some council enforcer for his (PW's) selfishness? No - he'll just shrug it off and say that the ban is draconian or something in a feeble bid to justify himself.* Remember, he once said he was voting Tory (but later tried to pass it off as a joke).
