Title: 20 April 2010: a "420" set? (Nope: 1966! no pot around then, of course)
Post by: RGMike on April 19, 2010, 12:34:45 PM
Not bloody likely.

I went looking for the Toyes "Smoke 2 Joints" on YouTube to post on FB tomorrow -- I don't wanna say potheads are stupid but there are, like, 17 (roach-)clips of "Smoke 2 Joints" on YT labelled "Bob Marley". Because all reggae sounds like Marley when you're stoned? Sheesh.

Here's the Toyes, BTW:

To be fair, for the longest time I thought it was Bob Marley.

Other 420-ish songs?

Smoke On The Water
Legalize it
Smokin'
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
Get Stoned (Hinder)
Smokin' In The Boys Room
Smoking Her Clothes (Inspiral Carpets)

Ah, why bother?

Although I do like one of the headlines at sports.yahoo.com/mlb:

"Lincecum is Smoking"

Hmmm, I agree it's a great album.  But, since you mentioned it, what is your *favorite* album of all?

The Jefferson Starship's Red Octopus, which I readily admit is more an emotional choice than a rational one.  I have a longtime love affair with the hit "Miracles," and several other songs on it knock me out and bring back the warmest of memories, particularly "There Will Be Love."  A line from Paul there:

I made an ark from the light of the stars
And I hewed two mesas of bright silver metal
That sang in the sun like a sail in the wind
And I weave my way back to you ... Now I fly ...


There's just something I love about that, that I can barely name.

I'm partial to Peter Green myself.

(http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/dailyloaf/files/2008/11/clapton-is-god.jpg)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Although Clapton gained world fame for his playing on the immensely influential album, Blues Breakers, this album was not released until Clapton had left the Bluesbreakers for good. Having swapped his Fender Telecaster and Vox AC30 amp for a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar and Marshall amplifier, Clapton's sound and playing inspired a well-publicised graffito that deified him with the famous slogan, "Clapton is God". The phrase was spray-painted by an admirer on a wall in an Islington Underground station in the autumn of 1967. The graffiti was captured in a now-famous photograph, in which a dog is urinating on the wall. Clapton is well reported to have been embarrassed by the slogan, saying in The South Bank Show profile of him made in 1987, "I never accepted that I was the greatest guitar player in the world. I always wanted to be the greatest guitar player in the world, but that's an ideal, and I accept it as an ideal". The phrase began to appear in other areas of Islington throughout the mid-60s.

Hey, thanks for sharing.  :-)

It's neat (yes that word is still used) to learn about favorite albums, films, etc.  Especially when the choice (like yours IMHO) is not obvious to lots of people (like your 2nd choice album for example).  You've got me thinking about *my* favorite album...  no answers yet though.....
