Yes indeed, white gravy is often poured over chicken-fried steak (which is a boneless piece of beef, ideally but not always a veal cutlet, battered and deep-fried in the same manner as fried chicken).
In the bad old days of the '60s folk "revival" or "scare," there was a whole lot of tobacco smoking (along with incineration of other substances as well). I can't count the number of times I saw a performer light a cigarette upon arriving onstage, and then stick the thing under a string up near the tuning machines at the head of the guitar neck. Just to add to the "atmosphere," apparently.
Here in New Orleans, there is *plenty* of smoking at all the live music venues (i.e., bars). Your hair and clothes smell pretty much like an ashtray after an evening out. Among the musicians, especially vocalists, there's less tobacco use than 10-20 years ago, but *way* more than "one out of a hundred" still indulge.
