We’re not sure how to approach a subject like this. But the information is out there, so we’re talking about it.
We’re talking about Strawberry Quick, and no it’s not a drag queen. The newswires are ablaze as people are talking about artificially fruit-flavored, sweeteed sweetened crystal meth as a way for drug dealers to sell meth to kids. I’m not sure if they are just copying the tobacco and liquor companies, or this is just a way of driving interest in the drug among users.
It’s not like you need a marketing campaign to sell crack. Like Chris Rock said in his show “Bring the Pain:”
“Drug dealers don’t sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves. It’s crack. It’s not an encyclopedia. It’s not a f**king vacuum cleaner. You don’t really gotta try to sell crack. Ok? I’ve never heard a crack dealer going “Man, how am I gonna get rid of all this crack?!”
We just saw Spiderman 3 and all I can say is I wish the wacky editor-in-cheif J. Jonah Jameson got his own film, or at the very least more on-screen time. Actor J. K. Simmons (the therapist on Law and Order and a gang leader on OZ) deliciously devours scenery with his cigar-chomping flamboyant arrogance. Having worked in newspaper publishing for over a decade, I personally relished every moment of the characters lunacy, weather it is in the Raimi’s Spider Man moives or when he reprises his role on the Simpsons.
Today we’re surprised as you may be to get a phone call from a long lost friend who used to be on the show! Who is it? Just listen and find out.

Joni Mitchell did the paved paradise song, not Joan Baez… Baez was a Dylan hanger-on she resembles a troll of sorts… Loved the show guys and I really like Fridays show with James St. James….. your chewbacca sounds kinda Cheresque
Ditto on Joni Mitchell… and she’s fabulous.
It was so good to hear from Dwayne Speaks again. Just like the ‘old days’…
Joan Baez had/has a pretty awesome voice. I love Joni Mitchell, but give Joan Baez her due…as well as her sister, Mimi Farina. They both did the Village folk scene long before Joni came down from Canada.
Did you ever think that Cher sounded a little Chewbaccaesque?
The Joni Mitchell song is called “Big Yellow Taxi” and has been covered numerous times over the years by tons of artists, the most recent one being Counting Crows in which the lead singer changed the famous line of “Late last night I heard a screen door slam and a big yellow taxi took away my old man” to “…a big yellow taxi took my baby away” completely ruining the rhyming scheme of the entire song.
I LOVE to hear from Dwayne!! I love to hear his stories, he is always so happy and so optimistic. I hope to hear him again and more often.
Hay! I will try to be more in touch so that everyone knows what I am up to and doesn’t worry about me. Maybe I will write some more poetry and share it will you!!
Sell those iPhones Dwayne!
