This day in ♫ rock history, June 30th. 1976. "Police raided the home of Neil Diamond searching for drugs, they found less than one ounce of marijuana" It's okay Neil, live the way you want to.
Talk about a poor attempt of a modern day Reefer Madness! Did anyone notice that one guy sounds alot like a young George Carlin? Is this really serious?
@glueforall That's okay...no offense taken! Actually, I knew what you meant, as in a pun. When I think about it, it's rather funny! I've heard of Nickelback, but not much of their music.
@mrwashur1991 Are you kidding? It is the pick pocket capital of Europe and the streets are full of very unsavoury people. I travelled through it on business many times and never did I feel safe until I was aboard the train or in my hotel room.
@planetrockford youre an idiot...pickpockets are the least of unsafe things...it's much safer than any other city ive ever been to...just keep youre shit in your front pockets.
@mrwashur1991 My statement is based on personal encounters, other relatives observations, dutch friends advice and warnings from members of staff who work in the city. I travelled through the city over 2 years, that allows me to make such statements. If you had the same experience of the city you would agree. Staying away from drugs allows me to think clearly and see the reality of things as they are. I won't bother reading any response as no doubt it will be insulting rather than considered.
@yoseph89 yeah but if you listen to some of the people, thier did other drugs other than pot. i smoke alot of pot but i also have obsessive compulsive disorder, and when im high it makes me normal as far as not counting shit and stuff.
@FORANWFS anybody who actually believes that people shoot LSD into their spine is brainwashed. The war on drugs is a materpiece in the art of brainwashing. Especually the war on pot. Clear things up for ya Wendell?
@FORANWFS if you have to ask then you are one of the brainwashed. Think about it genious: who is actually gonna shoot acid into their own spine when you can take it orally and painlessly?
@AllStarBugler because u come up on it rite away, u know people like gettin off faster and quicker when there years at durgs , u know it all spastick. go fuck yr mother.
the story goes that when diamond was busted for marijuana, he got a deal where because he was a big star, he'd get off easy if he recorded an anti-pot song. he agreed, got the lighter sentence, and then recorded this song.
though the bios talk about people whose lives were wrecked by drugs, the song lyrics themselves sound so happy and silly, like it's more of a pot PROMO than anti-drugs.
@Krackelhead Not sure I believe that he was ever arrested for drugs offences as he has always travelled freely to the U.K. If he had a conviction for suc an offence he would have been turned away by immigration control and it would be well known.
@Krackelhead You are way off base. First of all, Diamond was busted for pot in 1976, 8 years AFTER he wrote and recorded this song. Second, at the time of this song (1968) Diamond started a program called PAD (performers against drugs). The testimonies of the recovering drug addicts in this recording were to bring to the public forefront the daily struggles these individuals go through. You should stop getting your erroneous info from comic books and read some real Neil Diamond biographies.
This was intended to be an anti-pot song, but the ironic thing was, seven years after this song, cops raided Diamond's home and busted him for marijuana. After the bust, Diamond gave the cops autographed copies of his albums!
