Hippie Movie Reviews: Up in Smoke (1978)

Just watched a classic, Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke.

This is a great movie because it has scene after scene of great marijuana related slapstick comedy.  

It kinda keeps a loose plot going based upon Cheech and Chong first meeting up and playing in a band together.  With the finale being the punk rock battle of the bands at the end.  

Here is a classic from the movie:

"Hey how am I driving, man?"

"I think we're parked."

and of course:

"Hey, hey don't take those, man."

"Wha?"

"I almost gave you the wrong shit, man."

"Hey, man, I already took 'em, man."

Up In Smoke gets a double thumbs up from Erik and Amanda.

Rolled Up Again...

Long Beach Dub Allstars

Rolled Up

Lyrics

Rolled up 

Rolled up again 

Rolled up 

Right in front of my friends 

I was rockin' like a star 

Closed down all the bars 

And now I'm sitting in this holding cell 

Sad, but true 

I need you 

Come get me out of jail 

Please, please 

You're my only friend 

That I know 

Who's got something to lend 

To post my bail 

Cheese sandwich, orange juice 

I've even had to fight to keep my shoes 

I don't got no fund or credit cards to use 

And it's late at night and this calling card is gonna have to do 

Sad, but true 

I need you 

Come get me out of jail 

Please, please 

You're my only friend 

That I know 

Who's got something to lend 

To post my bail 

Have you ever had a problem and been out of control? 

That good boy just bashed his head against the wall 

You ever had a problem and been out of control? 

Get lacerated and the cell smells like beer 

Try to wake someone up and get the hell outta here 

The last thing I remember I heard last call 

My body is controlled by alcohol 

Aleta is my angel out there floating on the sea 

Bail bondsman wants that boat so bad she don't need no I'd 

Jerry is down to bail you out 

You better not mess around, no no 

I got caught with 10 pounds 

Sad, but true 

I need you 

Come get me out of jail 

Please, please 

You're my only friend 

That I know 

Who's got something to lend 

To post my bail 

Rolled up 

Rolled up again 

Rolled up 

Right in front of my friends 

Rolled up

Thanks for joining the Made By Hippies Tie Dye Newsletter. Our plan is to send out about one e-mail a month with some news about our tie dyes and where we will be vending as well as a special tie dye deal!

Made By Hippies busy Spring has now become our busy Summer. But busy in a great way because we are busy making and selling tie dyes. Our online sales have continued to roll in day after day and our vending sales at the Gresham Farmers Market here in Oregon have been going great! Last weekend we were at the Sandy Mountain Festival in Sandy, Oregon and broke last years record for all time tie dye sales in one day! So we are feeling pretty great as the rest of our summers plans unfold in front of us. This weekend we are going to be vending at the Gresham Farmers Market again but it's also the Gresham Art Walk so it's bound to be a busy day. Next week are are loading up the van and driving to Minnesota for the 10,000 Lakes Music Festival. We don't have a booth this year (we did in 2006!) but are planning on meeting up with old friends and partying and I'm sure we will end up selling a few tie dyes along the way!

Later on in August we are going to be rocking steady at the 5th Annual NW World Reggae Music Festival here in Oregon. This will be our third year vending there and we have a 10'x20' booth reserved in the stage area so if you make it to the festival be sure to come by and check us out!

Tie Dyed in LA

Man we have been busy this year and especially this April. We had two back to back road trips plus our internet sales on our website www.madebyhippies.com have really started to take off. So life is pretty sweet now. We start selling at the Sandy Mountain Market this Saturday and then at the Gresham Farmers Market the week after that.

Check out this video that American Apparel made of us working with them... I think they are still editing it but here is the rough draft anyways....

Peace!
