DBT #286 4-20 Don't Bogart that Song
A playlist could be expected for 4/20, but my inspiration was Alex Toast asking in Facebook for Playlist recommendations. Well I read get off your butt and make a DBT Playlist. So while I thought the title could be as simple of 4/20 but then I thought about "Get High Playlist" "Here's to Marijuana" "Songs to get high by" "Ballad of the Stoner", oh boy I settled with a tie-in to the playlist.
Yes I know and googled many other songs for the day, but my list has the big rule of I own it vinyl, cd or digital; no streaming here. I was going to stop at 12, so you got some extra weed songs; pass it along.
1) Help Me Willie Nelson - Humbird
Siri does ask Willie, "Would you roll me a joint?" which goes along with Willie persona and Siri captures his wild ability to shred that guitar.
You know I love the studio stuff, but this duo of Siri and Pat Keen is an awesome find and it needs more love.
2) Schedule 1 - Alex Toast
Well of course he came to mind (duh the inspiration noted above), but I bet he knows this one already for his playlist. Alex is over joyed that his current home state of MN has now legalized pot.
3) Do Nothin Deadbeat - Joshua Quimby
Josh has a few songs appropriate to the subject but I'll just add one song per artist. Joshua follows Alex because I met Joshua at Alex's house. HA Love Joshua's voice and he's no deadbeat.
4) Down Home Dispensary - Molly Tuttle
Love that Molly thinks the Republicans in TN would do anything smart. Another reason why I believe Republicans have lost their way from principles of economic growth and now just want to talk about hate for immigrants. I frankly love immigrants, I am descended from some of them.
I think she's trying to inspire 18 year olds to vote.
5) Beer Run - Todd Snider
Ha, now why would I put Beer Run in a pot playlist, these boys first get a cigarette that kind of smelt pretty funny.
6) Old Familiar Drunken Feeling - Corb Lund
A recent addition to the library ...
And if you want to watch the video, go to my review of his album:
7) Panama Red - New Riders of the Purple Sage
Ah my youth and the top class strain.
8) Talkin Ditch Weed - Dana Robinson
I sure love Discog searches... found this cd from Dana who played our house concert series. (This song is not of the YouTube playlist at the end.)
9) Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - Bob Dylan
"Every wants to get stoned" such poetry Bob.
10) A Pirate Looks At 40 - Jimmy Buffett
I read Jimmy never smuggled or dealt drugs, it's only a story in a song.
11) Illegal Smile - John Prine
I thank this playlist for inspiring me to import John's first vinyl to the library, yes the incredible first vinyl of John Prine had so many classics. Sorry, I wouldn't give up this record for anything less than $100 and then I'd replace it again.
12) Don't Bogart that Joint - Little Feat
This vinyl somehow showed up in my library; and while I found the song in many google lists, I didn't realize how short it was.
I wondered about stopping the playlist at 12, but no I found some gems that priceless and needed sharing.
13) The Perfect High - Bob Gibson
Right lucky find in my vinyl room, Bob's "Shel Silverstein" record and it's an all time favorite.
Here's a link for Shel's poem is you would like to read along.
14) Mary Jane's Last Dance - Tom Petty
Tom's song "You Don't How it Feels" makes most lists but the only Petty CD I had included this classic: yes it has two possible meanings where guessing the later.
15) Got To Get You Into my Life - The Beatles
Paul's new love for pot created this song, and because it made many other Google Playlist it now makes mine.
