In honor of 4/20 I will tell my favorite weed story.
It's 1998? 99? I'm on tour in Amsterdam. We're playing the Melkweg that night. Obviously, we binge on space cakes that morning.
Except one of us -- me -- really overate. It's showtime, and I am fucking useless.
I stumble may way through the show. It's not pretty. I think I literally stared off into the ether in the middle of one tune.
Afterwards, one of the singers reams me out. But not for being too high to play.
Nope, I get yelled at for *not being that stoned at every show*, to prepare me for this very Amsterdam moment.
It's a lesson I try to take to heart every day. #Happy420

EXCLUSIVE: Texts & 36 sources tell the true story of how CNN's Jeff Zucker & his cronies manipulated the news.

That includes *literally* cheerleading for their favorite pols like Andrew Cuomo. As one exec texted the former guv: “Cuomo-W. Trump-L.” 🧵

For the first time, @TatianaSiegel27 shows just how close Zucker and CNN’s top comms exec Allison Gollust were with Governor Andrew Cuomo. It's not just that she provided talking points (and more) to Cuomo for on-air appearances during the pandemic... rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
In early 2020, Cuomo texted Gollust, “You don’t want to see me now that I’m single?” She replied, “A drink with you would be the best date I’ve had in a while.” Four months later, he fired off a text to Gollust suggesting he be her “pool boy.” rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

Experts we talked to think this is straight-up madness. “I understand where they’re coming from,” @woodyatpch tells @RollingStone. “But fundamentally, this is a bad idea.” rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
