*Yes, he’s my brother. He’s 25 and an aspiring singer/songwriter/actor/director/writer/producer. So I said, “Hey, write me a song about getting stoned” and he sent me this demo.
**This song, “Jack Herer”, has absolutely nothing to do with Jack Herer. I asked the songwriter why he called it that, and he said it was because he was inspired by meeting Jack Herer that day for the first time. I said, “Wow, a title that has nothing to do with the song. That’s so Led Zeppelin of you.” And he replied, “I was thinking more like The Who and ‘Baba O’Reilly’ for a song about a teenage wasteland.”
I know the feeling. I’ll never forget my first National NORML Conference. It was in San Francisco, and we’d just finished the all-day road trip from Portland to the bay area and I get into the hotel, bags in hand, looking like hell and probably smelling worse, exhausted, and when the elevator door opens, standing there are Allen St. Pierre, Keith Stroup, Tommy Chong, and Eddy Lepp.
And that happened through a fortuitous series of events that started when I joined my local chapter of NORML. There is a whole family of cannabis community that is eager for you to join us in ending adult marijuana prohibition – we are closer now than ever before. Be sure to give of your time, talent, money, and/or voice and we will see the day of legal marijuana.
I guarantee that marijuana will be legal in my lifetime. If I die and it is not legal, then I promise to come back and haunt the drug czar’s office.
