It would go well with Rock & Jock.

Ew, not even the homeless should risk the chance of unwittingly eating something that Pamela Des Barre could have touched.

No "SPLIFFY" tag?

Pot, is there anything it can't do?

I said it, and I will say it again: It will *NOT* bring a hooker back to life, people

What do they do with the left over pot?

Archie DeBunker: What do they do with the left over pot?

Give it to the homeless so they get the munchies bad enough to risk eating something that's been backstage at a Nickleback show.

Here's to... marijuana? The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems?

First album was okay. I like the second album a lot. After that, they lost me.

Then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

DNRTFA yet, but as soon as I read the headline, I imagined some Jesus-like figure breaking up an ounce and miraculously spreading it out over thousands of people.

Of course, maybe that's why they were hungry and needed the fish and bread.

Soup kitchen worker: "Here sir, this is a veggie wrap that Chris Robinson decided he didn't want."

Homeless man: "Who? What?"

SKW: "Chris Robinson, Black Crowes, you know? veggie wrap, here you go."

HM: "A vagina wrap and some Old Crow? Okay!"

The only concert at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO, that I spent more than $10 to go see was the Black Crowes at it was $25 and they played for 45 minutes. A fight broke out in the crowd and the singer dropped the mic and stopped the show.

I went out back to their tour bus and cussed at them before going home.

The Black Crowes are feeding their dead hookers to the homeless? That's terrific.

They talk about music corrupting youth. I'll bet that song lead to a LOT of first time smokers.

We trusted Ozzy.

The Rider for the Dave Matthews Band requests a tour bus that can let crap fall from the bus as it drives over bridges.

A half ounce for a couple of guys? That sounds like serious business.

Just because he sounds like Popeye doesn't mean its the same person singing it.

They extract the hemp fibers and weave it into tiny little baskets. Takes about a 1/2 oz. Kind of a stupid hobby, tho.

usually pot feeds people by less circuitous means.

Wait a tic. I thought Phish was the spokesband for this generation of Hippies. Black Crowes are so...'90s.

Spinach is full of iron.
Iron Man was a major hit for Black Sabbath.
Black Sabbath was also the band that recorded the song Sweet Leaf.
Sweet Leaf is about weed.

Full circle man, full circle



/Yeah yeah, blame it on the bourbon.
//That's Slater from Dazed and Confused, not Saved by the Bell.

Subby: Pot, is there anything it can't do?

Lead to a productive and well-educated society? Cause widespread social reforms for the better? Give rights back to those who were deprived of them and lead our society into a golden age of prosperity and culture?

Nope, pot can't do any of those things. All it does is get you high. Awesome.

It does say per dressing room if you read it not-stoned. I'm willing to bet everybody in the band got their own dressing room.

No more stupid than model railroading, and that saved Sebastian Bach's life... werd.
