Drugs, man!

Is there any evidence that anything was ever smoked in the Old World prior to the introduction of tobacco? My understanding is that hashish and opium were known before then, but were taken orally prior to the discovery that they could be smoked, and that smoking was a habit introduced into the old world from the new.

Music

I have rewritten this section with the aim of either citing appropriate sources or removing editorializing that I could find no reference for. I could find no citations to justify the assertion that Solage's music shows "a greater concern for larger-scale form than was typically the case earlier....", so I have removed this and replaced it with a brief quote from Grove's Music Encyclopedia. The obscure term equivocus has been removed, as I could find no useful musical definition, and it is used technically in unrelated contexts. I have retained some of the previous writer's editorial style, as the somewhat colourful diction is appropriate to the subject. D A Patriarche (talk) 08:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

The older refs here need to be either properly footnoted from the body of the article or moved to External References. I will undertake to do this when time permits, but feel free to preempt me! D A Patriarche (talk) 08:36, 22 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Footnotes are not used in an article using parenthetical referencing. The nonconforming ref formats have been fixed accordingly.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 08:45, 22 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
