Seven Questions for Cheech & Chong...Cheech & Chong to Launch New Tour
LAist got to interview Cheech & Chong who were promoting tonight's VH1 special, Lords of the Revolution: Cheech & Chong.
Cheech points out an interesting coincidence. In their film Corsican Brothers, "I burn down the house and then we try to get our way back home. I go one way. He goes the other way. We end up meeting 20 years later. That's what really happened to us in our careers."
Chong says the key to their longevity is the film Up In Smoke. "The movie's a lot like a joint. It takes you on a timeless journey. We're timeless. We aren't driven by fads, we are a fad. A fad that will never go away. No matter how many bitchy reviewers would like it to go away."
When asked if Tommy got his a/k/a Tommy Chong DVDs back [The interviewer is referring to the DEA raid on Spectrum Labs, the company distributing the a/k/a Tommy Chong DVDs. Note: we have the DVDs in stock], he said "No. The government keeps everything. They destroy everything. The movie was a big hit, it was shown on one of the cable networks and was big with the critics."
Cheech also says they are going to launch a new tour.
It's a great interview. Read the entire thing here.

Review: Tommy Chong's Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography (Paperback Edition)
The paperback edition of Tommy Chong's book, Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography, will be released August 4th. Simon and Schuster were kind enough to provide us with an advanced copy to review.
When Tommy wrote this book, he and Cheech were still broken up. No one would have guessed that at this time last year Cheech and Tommy would announce they had buried the hatchet and would reunite for a tour.
In the paperback edition, Tommy adds a postscript chapter explaining the initial meetings he had with Cheech last year to discuss a reunion. Many of these meetings turned into arguments. Tommy details these meetings and arguments, as well as what it was like going back on tour with Cheech. It's very interesting and provides an inside glance at what went down behind-the-scenes.

Cheech Won't Be in Machete
One of the best and most underrated films of all time was 2007's Grindhouse. The film, which was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, was a double-feature inspired by the low-budget grindhouse films of decades past.
During the "intermission," fake movie trailers were shown. The most popular trailer was Machete. It stars Danny Trejo and Cheech Marin. Cheech Marin is Trejo's gun-toting priest vigilante brother. Memorable quote..."God forgives, I don't."
Rodriguez and Trejo frequently hinted that a full-length Machete film was in the works.
Well, Machete begins filming in two weeks and Cheech is not in it. The film which will be directed by Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodriguez will of course star Danny Trejo. However, the script was not sent to any of the original cast, not even Cheech.
Rodriguez says they are sending it to "big names," but would only confirm that Michelle Rodriguez has signed.
He also says that Jonah Hill (as Julio) and Lindsay Lohan (as senator's daughter) are considering the script. The rumor is that Robert Dinero (we believe as Cheech's priest character) has already signed.
