And they’re just as funny in 2009.<\/p>\n
…even if Alice Bowie<\/em> needs a Zimmer frame to get off stage and Man<\/em> is still too high to work out he never gets double his weed.<\/p>\n In fact, they’re probably funnier. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n Everybody, sing!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n [Chong] [Cast] Tommy got 9 months in the Taft, California Federal Prison<\/a> for playing a hapless stoner in a bunch of movies. Anyone other than Tommy Chong who sold a bong<\/a> would get home detention. That little skirmish in the Bush\/Ashcroft culture war on America didn’t do much more than resurrect the Cheech & Chong part of Tommy’s career.<\/p>\n I got to talk to the fellas after the 22 April show at the Enmore for a few minutes. When Tommy found out I was an American who had lived in Aus for about 14 years, he asked for my email address, but after seeing this video<\/a>… I’m not holding out much hope for any notes. Tommy’s wife Shelby mentioned that they were considering moving out to Australia; I sure hope they check out the Blue Mountains before splashing out for a harbour view mansion.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/machinegunkeyboard.com\/blogimages\/cheech_chong_syd_02_1024.jpg\")

\nUp in smoke
\nThats where my money goes
\nIn my lungs
\nand sometimes up my nose
\nWhen troubled times
\nBegin to bother me
\nI take a toke
\nand all my cares
\nGo up in smoke
\n<\/em>
\n[Cheech]
\nUp in smoke
\nDonde todos es mi rey
\nThere are no signs
\nQue dice no fumer
\nSo I roll un “bomber”
\nY me doy, un buen toke-ay
\nY despues I choke
\nY todos mis cares
\nGo up in smoke
\nCome on let’s go get high<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nUp in smoke
\nThat’s where I wanna be
\n‘Cause when I’m high
\nThe world below
\nDon’t bother me
\nWhen life begins
\nTo be one long
\nand dangerous road
\nI take a toke
\nand all my cares
\nGo up in smoke<\/em><\/p>\n
