Cheeto’s stock soars as news breaks

After making plans to check out Bernie Worrell and George Clinton, the Austinist was reminded of a news story we heard last week. A new benefit has been added to the already long list of benefits associated with smoking marijuana. Everyone knows that a daily dose of alcohol helps make the heart stronger, but apparently so does THC. The study shows that THC helps to reduce the hardening of the arteries ... in mice. Hardening of the arteries is a precursor to heart attacks. The mice in this study were fed a high-cholesterol diet and then given daily doses of THC. The control group not only had their arteries clog up, they also had to endure countless hours of hearing their blunted brethren discussing the finer points of screwing with the man by refusing to master anymore mazes.

man, what a letdown Bernie was. The small amount of time he actually spent playnig the keys proved what a legend he was; unfortnately, he was playing with a crap bass player and seemed mostly disinterested in the gig. I guess he was just way too drunk. I told the filmmaker of his doc that i enjoyed it, i just hoped it didn't hasten bernie's demise. He was a total wreck, seemingly, last night. It's too bad, cause he showed flashes of brilliance.
