America Quote by Rob Halford
“I chew a special brand of gum that you can't get in America. It's British, and it's called Airwaves. It's a menthol eucalyptus gum that is a very soothing thing for me when I'm singing because I'm swallowing, and it also keeps my sinuses and general upper breathing clear. I've got to be able to hit these clear, clean notes.”

![“[On living in New York City:] I'm oblivious to everything. I just don't notice anything. I sat in a coffee shop, drank half a cup of coffee before I noticed there was lipstick on the cup. There was wadded-up gum and lipstick on the napkin. I must have been sitting on that woman's lap for an hour.” quote by Laura Kightlinger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f87/laura-kightlinger-24538_cities_on-living-in-new-york-city-i-m-oblivious_55113.jpg)
