Sounds like a pretty good show on Dylan, if anyone out there besides me likes him. Hey, he turned Macca on to pot!

Not to start a drug thing (Sorry), but I remember hearing on a local radio station that back in the early '80's, many musicians were into really hard stuff like Cocaine, Heroin, etc. Macca was still getting busted with a bag of pot. I understand pot is still a harsh nocotic (Don't ask me how I know Image), but compared to the other harsher narcotics in which people can overdose, pot is like a "Mickey Mouse" drug.

BTW, my friend is a huge Dylan fan, in fact he sings like him(Not intentionally). I wonder if he's gonna see it. Maybe it's worth checking out.

Macca got busted in Japan. Linda was a huge weed head too, and they got nailed in a country that has little patience with Westerners who are greatly-admired public figures, coming in and breaking their laws in such a flagrant manner.

Then you can look at their "pink Samurai" permissiveness and wonder, as Aretha said "Who's Zoomin' Who'...

BTW, I just mentioned Mac in this announcement so we'd have yet ANOTHER Macca thread!
