I actually partied with Cheech and Chong in Rochester, NY around 1979. A place I was bouncing at had them and we invited them to a after hours party at someone’s house - Cheech was down to earth and shot the breeze over a few drinks - Chong was just like you see him - he disappeared upstairs where the weed was burning and we never set eyes on him again that night.
Also got to play pool with Harry Chapin - heard “Taxi” on our stage before it hit the vinyl - and John Prine did a gig there.
Wow.....neat stories. I guess Chong is a real pot head. I liked that song by Chapin too. I remember hearing it one late night in the 70s. Never forgot that for some reason. A very pretty part in the song is the solo chorus or whatever by someone.....a high voice. Thanks.
