Bongs vs Waterpipes
Apparently in Phoenix, you have to refer to a bong as a water pipe. If not, you or the head shop selling the bong will be busted.
The Bird called Tommy Chong to discuss their recent head shop visit, as well as Bongs vs Waterpipes.
"Keep living your life," he says. "But protect yourself. Never carry pot where you can get arrested, like in a car. Do your smoking at home. And as far as bongs go, be aware that the government will use any illegal activities against you whenever it feels like it."

Acccording to the Styx web site, "a smoky version of "Born in East LA" with Cheech Marin, featuring David Foster on piano, Joe Vitale on drums and Timothy Drury on B3 which turned into a kick-ass jam that had the whole joint smiling. Cheech was one heck of a front man too. "

Chong Has A Chinaman's Chance
Tommy Chong, Coolio, Reggie Lee and others are starring in Aki Aleong's latest film, Chinaman's Chance. Tommy plays the deputy. This is about as ironic as Cheech portraying a cop in Nash Bridges.
According to IMDB, the film is about a "Chinese immigrant who comes to America to work on the railroad, like his brother, to chase the American dream."
The film sounds like it may be a hit. The cast consists of seasoned actors. Reggie, for instance, was in Pirates of the Carribean.

Cheech was cordial, as always, and provided us with a brief interview. Here are some highlights:
- He says the reunion with Tommy Chong is not going to happen.
- We asked who the band "Yesca" is on the Up In Smoke soundtrack. Cheech says "yesca" is another name for pot and he's not sure why they put that as the name of the band on a few of the tracks.
- Cheech will be directing a Spanish version of the classic film Dracula, named Senor Dracula. He says the script is finished and everyone likes it. They will start filming soon.

Cheech Attends James Taylor Tribute
Last night, Cheech Marin and a host of other celebrities attended a pre-Grammy tribute to musician James Taylor.
According to Fox News...
Comedians Cheech Marin and Kevin Nealon each did some jokes, although Marin’s assertion that "JT hasn’t had a hit single in 71 years" maybe was not what Taylor wanted to hear in his honor.

Tommy Rejoins Marijuana-logues
In a shocking turn of events, it appears that Tommy Chong has rejoined the Marijuana-logues. On Thursday, April 6th, the show will be at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ.
Tommy briefly appeared in the off-broadway show last year. The show was to then tour the country. However, due to problems with Tommy's probation, he was forced to cancel the tour (too many people were smoking pot in the crowd). A lawsuit ensued. The Marijuana-logues accused Tommy of breaking their agreement. Tommy accused them of not compensating him.
He's back!
