The Obama administration will not seek to arrest medical marijuana users and suppliers as long as they conform to state laws, under new policy guidelines to be sent to federal prosecutors today.
First time I saw the Mats (probably Pleased to meet me, maybe the end of Tim, but definitely after Bob) PW got so drunk he had to play the encore, a mashup of "Skyway" and "Fuck School" (OK, it was definitely PTMM) from a chair. Mars was in a clown costume, for some reason involving his birthday and an earlier record store appearance.
It was GREAT.
The next couple of times were less drunken (and the last one, I think, after PW stopped drinking) and more professional, and thoroughly great; but the shambolic abandon of those early days was sublime.
I understand, of course, that no one can continue in that vein forever, and as Steve Simels says "If Westerberg feels like he's due a little commercial success, he's entitled for all that he's given so far".

That's true, although I'm still grumpy about it.
A friend of mine had a 40 minute rule for records, meaning LOOK OUT when a band that was ordinarily under went over. Not sure I buy it, but it seems to me that it was true of The Replacements.
I had a friend that always though we should send a bottle of Courvoisier to Pete Townshend, in his pater sober years. I confess sometimes feeling the same way about PW's post-sobriety output.
That, of course, makes me a bad person, but hey! Zombie here!
My bro-in-law got his pot card last month. We went over to this pot store in oakland. I got a bag of this shit that is so smelly and sticky it scares me, so a couple nights a week I take it out and look at it. Then I put it back and step away quietly.
They had some of the butter too, which I'd like to check out, but it's really expensive....

I believe you need an Undead test subject, my friend.
I think you may be confusing that drink with the Black Russian drink, Subby. Which is made from frozen ancient Siberian body parts floating in vodka, an ear or something that fits in a glass, not Mikey's Hadrons. Technically those people weren't socialists, more like capitalists really.
I reject anti-drug abuse counsel from the Replacements.
ReplyDelete4:20 comes early today!!!
ReplyDeleteI think of it as touting the bottle over the weed.
ReplyDeleteI recall a Bob-pissing-in-his-shoe-and-thowing-it-at-the-audience show. That was apparently not a unique circumstance.

Holy hell, I still love punk music.
Plus, I totally hate Substance Bubba McChangMyNym for seeing them with Bob Stinson.

Crap, look at the typos. Nobody tell Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteYou get what I was trying to say, anyways, right?
Right?
I am wondering what Obama's position on therapeutic peyote is going to be.
ReplyDeleteSo wait, should I make some tea for this, too, or is tea-making only for when the black socialists are drunken? Maybe nachos this time?

ReplyDeletePaul Westerberg is a Black Nationalist?
Dammm, I'm confuzzled.

Yeah, sez you, but I'm thinking maybe that's how you came to BE a zombie...
ReplyDeleteNot much of a surprise from an Attorney General named Holder.
ReplyDeleteI sent my tea back. It was not sufficiently iced.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sez you, but I'm thinking maybe that's how you came to BE a zombie.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so I've had some G-13. So?
Share, man.

ReplyDeleteLeave it to the great state of California to bring new meaning to Brando's "Get the butter" line.
Pot butter?
ReplyDeletePot pepper
ReplyDeletePot kettle
Gee this is a good game
Tigris tea please.
ReplyDeletethe black socialists are drunken
ReplyDeleteAlso clever bartenders can make the black socialists float in suspension between different layers of alcohol.

Jebus. I've been re exhied!!
HA, Tigris Tea is a New Zealand staple.
ReplyDeletePot Kettle Black.
However, our local Mammoth Beer does not contain fragments of recently-thawed Siberian pachyderms.

ReplyDeleteHey, didn't I post about this before?
