Well, can’t say I didn’t see this one coming.

Cheech & Chong's Light Up America Tour

I guess with the buzz of movies like Pineapple Express and a sort of ingrained acceptance of pot and drug humor nowadays this should have been expected.

But hey, they're not stupid. These two could not resist the prospect of an incredible “reunion” tour payday. They are going to make some serious bank doing this, every old time stoner, part time toker or just curiosity seeker is going to be asked to pony up $50 to $70 or more to see these two old men make jokes about smoking weed and getting high.

Though I don’t think the kind of sloppy silly pothead jokes of the mid to late 70’s certainly are not going to fly this time around. I hope they really have some new material. I loved their old stuff though.  ;D

I’ll bet you if Pineapple Express does well, there will be a new Cheech and Chong movie on the horizon… ::)

I think it's hotsh*t those two old timers are taking the act on the road again; however, I've got something I else I'd rather spend the extra $50 or $70 dollars on.....
:-X

I'm sure Chong would salute you for it. :D

I'm kind of meh about it.  I love their old comedy, but Cheech (God love him) has changed quite a bit from those days if you think about it.  He is more mainstream and more "in" with Hollywood.  I also remember (vaguely) an interview or something involving him saying that he'd never reunite with Chong, so I wonder what gives with this tour.

I didn't see this one coming. Cheech is 62 and Chong is 70  :o  I wouldn't pay $50-$70 bucks for standup comedy, but I'm sure these 2 classic stoners could still make me laugh

Tommy Chong smokes so much pot, it's any wonder he doesn't change his name to Tommy Bong :D

Have you seen his daughter Rae Dawn Chong lately?  Age really took a toll on her.  She still looks good, but no where near as good as she did in 'Commando'

Actually, Tommy Chong sold his own line of Bongs (his business was called "Nice Dreams") and the bongs (um, thats "water tobacco pipe smoking accessories" to satisfy the Feds out there) were called Chong Glass on line for a while and was quite successful.

So successful that the Feds came after him and put him in Federal Prison for six months. for "conspiring to distribute drug paraphernalia" across state lines. Not too funny actually...now if Tommy Chong could, as other great comics can, make comedy out of pain and tragedy, then I'd like to hear what he'd have to say about his being singled out by the Feds  >:( and his time in the slammer for selling bongs on-line.

Heres an interesting note from his ordeal "After pleading guilty, Chong had joked with reporters about putting the case into the plot of a reunion film he was planning with Cheech Marin. Prosecutor Houghton pounced on Chong's comment, telling Judge Arthur Schwab that Chong was making light of the case and seeking to exploit it for personal profit. Chong stopped talking to reporters after that."

^ I remember when he came on the Tonight Show talking about that

My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her cuz my head is like a sieve

My daddy his disowned me cuz I wear my sister's clothes
She caught me in the bathroom with a pair of panty hose

My basketball coach he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high heeled sneakers and acting like a queeeeeeen

World's coming to an end I don't give a care
As long as i can have a limo and my long orange hair

And it don't bother me if people think I'm funny
Cuz I'm a big rockstar and I'm making lots of money money money aaaah

^ ;D

I own apartment buildings and shopping centers and I only know three chords!  HA HA HA!

I said turn that thing down and get ready for school...
;D

Up in smoke was the very first DVD I ever bought. I hope if they do reunite that it is not lame.

Chong had predicted they would reunite one day & said it will be huge!!!
If you figure that BTO did a 23 show tour years ago with an estimated $25m cashflow
Hey DAVE"S HOME!!!!!!
