Subject: Mike Brewer Takes One Last Toke Over the Line
Written By: LyricBoy on 12/18/24 at 6:22 pm
Mike Brewer, one half of 70s rock duo Brewer & Shipley has expired at the age of 80 after three years of ill health. :\'(

Brewer & Shipley were best known for their Top 10 hit, "One Toke Over the Line," released as their debut single in 1971. 8) This got them into trouble with the Nixon Administration, which did not take kindly to the song’s veiled drug references. ;D

But not with Lawrence Welk, who apparently thought the song was a "modern spiritual". The song was performed on his famous show for old people. It has to be seen to be believed.

The Flaming Lips also did a cover version, although it sux.

Did you know what it was about at that age? Lawrence Welk obviously didn't, and he was a lot older. ;D

I didn't, exactly - but that wasn't my criteria for liking or not liking a song in 6th grade ...
