MUSIC
4/20 Show
I must first admit that I'm not usually an aficionado of the joint, nor the blunt, nor the glass tower of the bong. Bong! Do you hear the bells? I digress. Yet every year I'll encounter the musty patchouli-stink of my neighbor, back from a month-long stint peddling hemp leg warmers in the parking lot of sundry Phish tour venues, and he'll invite me to join him in a recreational toke. On this, 4/20 day, he never takes no for an answer.

One joint will turn into two, which, in turn, by some obscure law of geometric increase, will become an entire day in the thrall of THC and a particularly catchy Widespread Panic album. But, at noon, somewhere between the jackhammer-like hit I’ll take from a gravity bong and the deep inhalation from a contraption that looked like a hookah being date-raped by a mechanical octopus, I will walk to the Green Room on Sixth Avenue to hear Monty Ray and the Truth and Trip The Light Fantastic.  There, I will soak in Monty’s Eagles meets Stevie Ray Vaughn meets Santana mix, followed by Trip’s blues infused indie experimentation.

Sadly, The show will end at some point and I’ll follow my neighbor back to his Green Pad for more Widespread Panic.

And like every 4/20, around 9 p.m., I will beat my poor neighbor to death with a Birkenstock snatched from his very own, filthy foot. â€" Brad Allen
