Cheech And Chong, "Dave... hey Dave man..."

Posted over 3 years ago
So shopping was in "Fred Meyer," a few weeks ago came across this classic jem...ah good times...:)From Wikipedia:Cheech & Chong's Greatest Hit is a comedy album by Cheech and Chong. The album is a "greatest hits" compilation, featuring some of their best known comedy bits. Much to some fans disliking, some tracks were edited for this release. "Dave" is broken into two separate tracks, and is edited down for time. Also, "Earache My Eye" does not contain the opening sequence skit between father and son.Tracks:Dave Earache My Eye Let's Make a Dope Deal Basketball Jones Blind Melon Chitlin' Sister Mary Elephant Sargent Stadanko Dave (continued) Crusin' With Pedro De Pacas The Continuing Adventures Of Pedro De Pacas And Man Pedro And Man At The Drive-Inn Trippin' In Court http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheech_%26_Chong%27s_Greatest_HitCLICK ABOVEhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_in_SmokeCLICK ABOVEI remember seeing their first movie in the theatre when I was a teenager, great stuff plus I was living in East L.A. At the time so, it seemed cooler, they filmed part of "Next Movie, the next block over from where I lived sucked never got to met them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheech_%26_Chong%27s_Next_MovieCLICK ABOVECheech and ChongFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaCheech Marin and Tommy Chong were a comedy duo who found a wide audience in the 1970s and 1980s for their stand-up routines, which were based upon the era's hippie, free love and especially drug culture movements. Cheech played a cholo from Los Angeles, while Chong was a burned-out "druggie" whose entire life revolved around getting high.The duo released a number of successful comedy albums, and starred in a series of low-budget films, becoming one of the most successful comedy teams of all time. Their best-known comedy routines include "Earache My Eye," "Basketball Jones," "Santa Claus and his Old Lady," and "Sister Mary Elephant." Perhaps their all-time most famous line is "Dave's not here, man" (from their self-titled debut album).The two were close. Chong stated that Cheech was "closer than a wife. The only thing we didn't do was have sex." Image of the Cheech and Chong comedy album Cheech and Chong's Greatest Hit. Cheech and Chong in an episode of South Park.The duo separated in the 1980s due to creative differences. Cheech Marin has separated himself from the pair's drug-addled act by working on a solo career, finding success in a one-hit wonder song entitled "Born in East L.A." (based on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A."). He did character voices for several animated feature films, including Disney's Oliver and Company (1988), The Lion King (1994), and Cars (2006). Marin also starred in various comedy films, including The Shrimp on the Barbie, as a lead in two television series Nash Bridges CBS (which featured Chong in one episode and treated fans to a recreation of "Dave's not here, man") and The Golden Palace, as well as a recurring guest role on Judging Amy. He had a memorable part as a bartender in the film Desperado, as well as other roles in successful Robert Rodriguez films such as From Dusk Till Dawn and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.Tommy Chong also pursued a solo career, starring in such comedies as Far Out Man. He had co-starred on the Fox Television series That '70s Show in which he played Leo, a burned-out hippie very similar to his character Anthony Stoner (Man) in the movie Up in Smoke (1978).The two reunited when they did voices for an episode of South Park, though their voices were recorded separately.After their contentious parting in the '80s, the duo had a less-than-stellar friendship. Chong recalled going to Cheech's birthday party in 1994 and seeing Cheech "on the couch with his arm around his wife like we had just met. It wasn't comfortable."The duo had plans to reunite for another film when Tommy Chong's California-based company, Chong Glass, was raided by federal officials on February 25, 2003, as part of a federal crackdown on "drug-related paraphernalia." Tommy Chong pleaded guilty to charges of distributing drug paraphernalia in May and on September 11, 2003 was sentenced to nine months in federal prison, fined USD$20,000, and forced to forfeit USD$120,000 in assets. He served the time between October 8, 2003 and July 7, 2004. With Chong off the hook, the duo planned to resume production on their latest opus. A variety of titles were rumored, including Grumpy Old Stoners. Cheech and Chong announced on September 8th that the reunion film had been cancelled http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheech_and_ChongCLICK ABOVE
