The Smoke - My Friend Jack (♫)
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
More than any other band, the Smoke epitomized the groove of Swinging London — which was especially ironic when one considers that, at the height of their success, they sold more records in Europe than England. Their sound fell somewhere between mod and the Beatles — their instrumental attack was somewhat Who/Small Faces-like, yet they delighted in cheerful vocals and infectious harmonies and melodies. Only slightly popular on their home turf, and unknown in the U.S., their biggest success was in Germany (oddly enough, for such a British-sounding group). The band hailed from York, where bassist Zeke Lund and lead guitarist Mal Luker began playing together in a band called Tony Adams & the Viceroys, whose lineup eventually came to include drummer Geoff Gill. Though the band was successful locally, enjoying a decent fan base with a solid, basic rock & roll sound, built on early-’60s songs, Lund, Luker, and Gill could hear the changes going on around them in music, with the rise of Merseybeat and the blues, R&B, and soul-based music coming out of London. They eventually decided to strike out on their own, playing a more ambitious repertory. They linked up late in 1964 with singer Mick Rowley and rhythm guitarist Phil Peacock, refugees from a band called the Moonshots. The resulting band, the Shots, played a hard brand of R&B, similar to what the Small Faces were doing — they were taken on as clients by Jack Segal and Alan Brush, a pair of London-based agents (Segal had the know-how, Brush the financing), who fronted them money for rehearsals and equipment, and got them signed up with independent producer and music publisher Monty Babson, who cut four sides with the group, two of which were issued as a single under license to EMI-Columbia. It was at just about that time that events began breaking against the band — they lost Phil Peacock, who wasn’t comfortable with the more complex sounds the rest of the band were interested in generating, and they lost their financing. They gamely decided to carry on as a quartet, the single-guitar configuration lending itself to an edgier sound, and sought new backing.

“What you choose today….affects who you are tomorrow” Is what the text says… The ad starts with a teen smoking weed, then gradually the more he smokes he turns into a giant bud- then breaks out of it as a balding, loser-ish old man. What a bunch of . This is a tax payers funded lie about the most powerful plant on the planet, Hemp. You could easily do this same ad about ANY DRUG- and the results would probably be worse. There is nothing wrong with smoking weed…and I’m fed up with the government trying to make me feel bad about something I know to not be bad.

the nervous stresses of all my senses minds. im already a process of the corporate climb. Thats how i define the reasoning behind why i dress in casual friday socks. I am at a loss trying to control this chaos. success would be to show respect to the spirit of the societal robots your, your boss, the big baboon and the process of our death. our bodies are consumed imaginatively doomed to rot and everything we ever bought will be seen like a snap shot shown to the big sun spot everything we ought to have done but did not. our past lives are never forgot, they are passed down via the inkblots that each new generation is taught. this is me and you. so instead of being the reflective thought of the systemized robotic baboons that dont know squat, lets get active and become immune to corporate onslaught. our boycot must be a massive animal monsoon as pensive and as passive as the tune sparking the divine powers of earth and neptune. My friends this time alive the suffering is intense, its worldwide and is so immense we can sense the burning inside. Its as if the smoke is the incense from the other side a city no longer hiding from our animal eye. We could evolve into the one that is in the image of a global tycoon. created by a commune of systemized robotic baboons that seem to regualte at this moment like merchants seperating mind states with power to create hate. They say we are incapable of surviving forever without an animal dictater because we are dumber and have to much anger to live together. so they are attempting to systemize our animal self by contolling our wealth and health. This is what i mean by systemized robotic baboons. the system is becoming so regualted that we have to become the system itself, becoming one system, forever regulated by man. our identity will seem to not be free.
