The Drive's most-visited year (it seems that way, at any rate).  Most welcome on this Tues that feels like Mon.

A few years ago, when I was doing "Song of the Week" blog-like entries, I wrote one on this song.   Strangely, four years later it's the one I've received the most feedback on, mostly presumably from Googlers.

What's in those Winchester smokes?  That's quite a draw!

(Should have segued into Donovan's "Superlungs, My Supergirl.")

That commercial is a reminder that while we complain about artists nowadays being "too quick to sell out -- not like back in the days of Woodstock"... here was Santana's "Evil Ways" turned into a cigarette jingle while the song was still on the charts.

Winchesters, BTW, were marketed as "little cigars" when they were just brown cigarettes.  Their main competition in the category was a brand called Tijuana Smalls, which everyone referred to jokingly as "marijuana smalls". LOL!
