I'm taking a cooking class with some Youngs, who know all the lyrics to old rock songs. I got all misty eyed and nostalgic, and I wanted to tell them about what things were like befoe the war, when apartments in the East Village were $50 a month, and a huge bag of amazing weed was $25. I remember when the war first started and The Man was all like "we're taking your drugs, hippies, and locking you up," and we were all like "you'll have to pry the Acapulco Gold out of my cold dead hands, man." I never realized they might actually win. Time passed and weed and prescription speed got replaced with crack and crystal meth, and religious nuts became mainstream. I wanted to tell the Youngs about that magical time before the war started, but how do you describe a unicorn that farts rainbows to someone who's never seen one? #weed

What they have to do is find a way to make chasity, malteds and big band music hip.Public service announcement:

"Yo, what up, G's? D'ja hear? Pre-marital sex is WACK! Peep this, though: Saving yourself for marriage is the bomb-diggity! So bust some fresh moves and wait until you're older. Holla!"

Wasn't this movie called Footloose? And featured erratic devil-dancing to Kenny Loggins' songs? I found none of it sexy. It was rather an awkward mash-up of flailing limbs and herky-jerky shoulder shrugging, more prone to rotator cuff injuries and hyperventilation, than grinding sex pieces. If we've progressed from that, it's really a godsend...anything else would have lead to man's extinction, probably. #weed

BTW, I just learned a Hendrix Fun Fact. In the Handel Museum in London, there's a little-noticed door that leads from the former home of the long-dead composer into the adjacent flat of the dead guitarist. And on Hendrix' birthday, lots of hippies jump the queue by going through the Handel museum. #weed

@BadUncle: Here's another Hendrix Fun Fact that still blows my mind:

Guess who gave Jimi his big break(TM) in the '60s? This mega-cheeseball Euro pop star called Johnny Hallyday.

He was a poor man's Elvis imitator and bigger than G_d & the Beatles back then in French-speaking countries.

He spotted Jimi doing his thang in some trashy dive in London and was so impressed that he asked him to open for him. In stadium-sized venues.

Which proves my point that while the French can't rock for their lives, they have always had impeccable taste when it comes to recogizning those who do.

@HomeroomAngel: Totes! Lame move, but I still can't hate on Little Richard. I saw him conduct a "panel discussion" during SXSW a few years back, and he was deliciously unhinged. Would randomly break out into "Loo-ciiiiile" shout-outs. That man is a national treasure. #weed

@SidAndFinancy: Given that he died in 1759, Handel is by now a very hygenically clean and beautiful skeleton. No decomposing afoot no more, you pun hound!

..And I just recently witnessed Handel's "Messiah" performed live. Holy Moses, what aural beauty. Handel is alive, I tell you. #weed

One of the high school dance contracts has this clause:

"When dancing back to front, all dancers must remain upright -- no sexual bending is allowed i.e. no hands on knees and no hands on the dance floor with your buttocks touching your dance partner."

RIP to the Pop-Lock-and-Drop. #weed

The linked story contains the following sentence: They bopped up and down to thumping techno and hip-hop beats.

Thank god someone has finally made a post like this.

I've been posting for years now on my blog about how ironic it is that the Baby Boomer Generation legitimized recreational drug use and sex and rebellious rock and roll when they were young, but as soon as they had teenagers did a complete about face and gave us mandatory sentencing laws, abstinence only education and record warning labels.

Oh, and they also created a system where it was really, really hard for us to get decent paying jobs after graduation and then labeled us "slackers." #weed

Regulating teen sex is like trying to pick up condoms in front of a steamroller piloted by teens having sex.
