    A long time ago, I attended an outdoor gathering personally attended by Cheech and Chong at a radio station in San Diego. The undercover cops were abundant. Several fans were arrested and roughed up by them. Cheech and Chong devoted their earnings to helping the arrested get free. They won my respect that day.

It shows the mark they made on people when the likes of me in my mid 50's can be out with my mates who are all approx the same age & we all still come out with their one liners in certain situations.

    So many memories growing up hearing this type of comedy for the first time. 1972 I was 13 and knew what weed was...... I brought the album "Smoking" (with a giant rolling paper!) home and my mom made me get it out of the house! Along with a Richard Pryor album. Their "Next Movie," in my opinion of course, was the best. It was one of only three movies we had to watch in Korea for one year. Blazing Saddles and Friday the 13th were the other two. Wasn't my choice, not into the horror bullshit. Into the 80's I was out to Sea and didnt see much of them after that.

      Next Movie took what was brilliant about Up in Smoke and refined it. It's the superior movie IMO, but only just. They are actually works of art, both visually and comedically. Both have that beautiful Technicolor look and are full of great photography, music, and brilliantly talented and funny actors. But Next Movie gives the most bang for your buck, laughs wise. I laughed like a demented person right up until the last scene of them shooting into space with The Pretenders playing the movie out. Absolute masterpiece. The old lady (also the school secretary from Ferris Bueller's Day Off) was so hilarious, as was Pee Wee Herman.

Toklas in a used bookstore that has her recipie for pot candy!! I'm planning to try that sometime. The recipie was excised from many editions of her book, which is too bad, because it sounds really good, and her recommendations to serve it at your next lady's bridge club meeting is awesome! She says everyone will relax and be in "good humor" after they enjoy these treats!!! Back then it was not considered anything unusual, on par with a glass of champagne or brandy, which I think is very sensible!

During the show the power went down so we all were sitting there in the dark cheering and yelling on and on burning up the cigarette lighters. This went on for almost 5 minutes or so. And then stage left, out comes Chong with a flashlight yelling out, “ Hey man, what the hell happened to the lights man”. Everyone totally fell apart. Other hundred joints lit up with Chong on stage. Finally they got the power back up and continued the show. We Laughed so hard that night that our sides were hurting. Best show ever. Thank you guys.
