Wellll.....

Media watchers, a truly exceptional episode of "Family Guy" - "Episode 420" - was a brilliant satire and a tribute to the many meanings of 420 in our culture.

Originally the agreed-upon meeting time for a few teenagers to gather after school for pot-smoking sessions, the legend has grown.

4/20 is Hitler's Birthday....

4/20 is the anniversay of the Columbine Massacre...

...and all these are mixed into Episode 420. The senseless killing? In the form of the butchered cat that Quagmire loved, killed by Peter and Joe with accomplices Brian and Cleveland. They were only planning on shaving it to "get" Quagmire, who was going gay over his feline friend.

The amazing musical number featuring the town getting high and mellowing out is here

    i'm usually a rockin' chick...however...way ecclectic musically in lots of ways, and i love me some Billie Holiday...girl can sing some bluuuuuueesss..
    anyway 4/20/1939 she recorded one of her most well-known recordings, fairly controversial for the time....

    "strange fruit" was a song based on a poem, written by a black schoolteacher...the song is eerie, haunting, the words deceive you at first to thinking they will be about something beautiful, until you really give a listen...

    "southern trees bear a strange fruit
    blood on the leaves and
    blood on the root
    black bodies swinging
    in the southern breeze
    strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees..."


    written of course, about all the horrible lynchings that were taking place during that time period...the things that this schoolteacher would see, just walking by the trees in his southern state...strange, terrible, sad fruit indeed...

I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"

S...
Couldn't resist, lmao....
