Allergy to the Fans

Today is 4/20 and Captain Cannibus is having a birthday today. Doobie doobie doo? From http://www.captaincannabis.com/CC.cfm:

“420 Turns 30 - April 20, 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the origin of 420. On April 20 [4-20] 1977 the government Copyright Office issued an official Copyright Certificate to Verne Andru for his ‘Captain Cannabis’ character, making it the earliest documented and verifiable correlation between 420 [April 20] and the counter culture.

Since Captain Cannabis is Hal Lighter’s alter ego, April 20 2007 is also Hal’s 30th birthday. To celebrate, Hal told us, “Dudes, you just gotta do something, like throw a party. I mean, this is serious 420 time!” We’d love to throw a huge 420 party and invite the whole world, but we’ve decided on something a bit more modest, but just as cool.”

Right on…

Best ever!

When I first found this back in February, I knew nothing about this band - Peter, Bjorn and John - other than they are Swedes, have a record or two under their belts. Now they are about to be huge - all because of this catchy little number.

Look for the incredible ‘Incredible Hulk’ tee shirt on the goofy looking drummer. A little birdie tells me they are coming to town…soon. Stay tuned.

This playlist is dedicated to those folks who think we need more by-laws. By-laws for smelling too strong, too stinky, not stinky enough, and my favourite - “smelling just right”. Suggesting that the City of Calgary needs more bylaws is ridiculous. “There outta be a law that says no more bylaws…”
