Celebrate your sacrament, hug your dealer, hug your dog. Shake it on Shakedown Street, have yourself a High Time, engage in a bit of fellowship - whatever it is that you people do - just don't spill your bongwater on the rug. Watch the video on youtube, then come back here (and bring someone special) for A Very Stoned Holiday soundtrack.
(Realaudio links to the wild n'wooly WFMU Archives)
High Speed and the Afflicted Men "Get Stoned Ezy" (from Acapulco Rodriguez)
The Human Instinct "Stoned Guitar" (from my show)
Stoned Hippie at Glastonbury, 1972 "The Sun is Having a Giant Orgasm" (from Brian's show)
Unknown "Pot Party" (from Ken's show)
Stephen Stills's song "4+20" has nothing to do with it.
There's tons more - later on, if you're able to summon the initiative, you can search the WFMU archives yourself. Meanwhile, here's Liz posting lots more songs for you, right here on this blog. (Sorry about all the complicated links, I do realize a body can get lost without some space notes. I truly don't mean to harsh your mellow.)
I made the bad decision to eat mushrooms on 4/20 back in 1996 - ended up having to drive somewhere with some friends about an hour after we ate them. Dude driving starts going crazy and runs a bunch of stop signs, then guns it to like 60mph (25mph zone). We shoot through one 4-way stop, unharmed. then he tries the next one and some lady in a minivan was coming through - we slammed into her really bad. She was unconscious and her head was on the horn. I had broken glass in my ear cuz I was sitting shotgun, and thats the side that hit her. Bad story short - I got my breath and immediately went into escape mode. hippy friend told me I had a Satanic aura around my face - then I looked at my watch and it was 4:20. Moral: don't drive with tripping hippies on 4/20. ever.
