Welcome to Roots Monday! I picked out something special for today’s holiday toker-tune! The song is “Don’t Bogart Me”, an iconic song that added stoner slang from the sixties into everyone’s vernacular. The term “Bogart” was coined as a reference to the great actor Humphrey Bogart and his style of leaving a cigarette dangling from his lips between puffing, even delivering lines with a burning cigarette in his mouth. Originally released by the group “Fraternity of Man” in 1968, it was included in the movie Easy Rider during a scene where a relatively unknown Jack Nicholson playing an ACLU lawyer is introduced to marijuana for the first time. The song has been covered by Little Feat, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish, Steppenwolf and countless others in Honkey-Tonks and clubs all over the world. Today’s version of this classic song is by the group, Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise and it was included in the 1998 Album, HEMPILATION II to benefit NORML. The song is number 11 in High Times Magazines greatest Pot songs of all time, and a key point in marijuana etiquette.
