Chief Greenbud is not only a great singer/songwriter in the Nashville tradition, he’s also a right swell dude. We met here in Portland when he came out for our Million Marijuana March. Then I got to go to Nashville and speak at a Tennessee NORML event, so we met up again and headed back to his basement studio (or as I might call it, “Chief Greenbud Nashville Studio Headquarters”).
He played a little bit of this tune for me, “The Hit That Makes You Cough” and I was ready to sing along the obvious next line (“is the hit that gets you off”), except he was bound and determined to have me prove that line of the song, so I was coughing at the time.
You can get more Chief Greenbud music at myspace.com/cgb.
By the way, the “Chief” part is a verb, not a noun. As in “to chief (to smoke) green bud”.

It’s not the cough
that carries you off,
It’s the coffin they carry you off in….
Sorry, I had to say it.
