Black Crowes don’t like security. Black Crowes do like marijuana.
The Black Crowes love them some weed and from the video below you’re about to watch, you can tell they are not down with steak-head security guards. Right now The Crowes are on tour with my buddies “Truth & Salvage” (who’s record Chris produced but I haven’t heard it even though I know them – hint, hook me up dorks) and at the Philly show it looks like someone in the crowd got hammered by a security guard for smokin’ the ganja. That’s when Chris got all Gil Scott-Heron and went OFF on the jock. It’s a long rant for sure but worth watching for the line “sometimes hippies got a little punk rock in em too!”

As you can see the Crowes don’t fuck around when it comes to the sticky icky. And from what I’ve heard, Mr. Robinson is giving Bob Marley (during the “Exodus” era) a run for his money for the title of most joints inhaled by one “functioning” man. And if you were wondering about the photo above, it’s not Chris Robinson, but it kinda looks like it could be his dad. It came up in Google image search when I typed in “Chris Robinson marijuana”. If you haven’t checked out the Crowes new double record “Before the Frost…Until The Freeze” do yourself a favor and grab it from Amazon for only $8.99 for all 20 tracks HERE. I haven’t dug too deep into it yet, but what I’ve heard sounds like it’s one of their best record in a long time. Review coming soon on that bad boy. In case you missed it when I posted it before, download their pro-cocaine tune “I Ain’t Hiding”. It just so happens to be Vishal’s theme song of his visit to LA last week. See you all at the Nokia show when this circus hits LA… Dig it.
The Black Crowes – I Ain’t Hiding”
And the Black Crowes playing another new tune, “Good Morning Captain”, on Letterman 9/1/09
