I’m proud to announce my son, Blake, ramps up his 420 “We Need Rent Money” Tour by hitting the road on May 24th and ending up in the sunny city of Sherman Oaks, California. Blake always wanted to see his film in LA. Now he gets his chance. I hope Spielberg is in the audience or at least Cheech and Chong.
Thanks to the Higher Path LA (They claim they offer the best weed and to be the best dispensary in Los Angeles) and The Green Room on Ventura which on Friday nights at 8:00 pm holds The Higher Path Movie Night for sponsoring Blake’s award-winning feature film. The Green Room says, “It’s is a place where you can step into a world where the allure of burlesque meets the magic of Jazz Cabbage!” Now that sounds pretty interesting. And the two joints (no pun intended) are next door to each other at 14082 and 14084 Ventura Blvd.
The 420 tour commenced in Portland, Oregon, thanks to Ascend Cannabis Recreational Dispensary and now moves on to the Golden Bear state.
I’ve got to give Blake mucho credit for his persistence in getting the Weed industry to partner with him in putting on events featuring his award-winning film “We Need Rent Money.” Now available for streaming on Prime Video, Tubi and boxbrazil.
Blake, in honor of your second stop on the 420 Tour, I recalled two famous California tunes.
The first is one hundred-years old. In 1924, Al Jolson sang California Here We Come on Broadway in a play called Bombo. Here’s are some of the lyrics:
… We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from
So Blake remember on May 24th, you’ll be on the run on Ventura Blvd.
You’ll be driving in the sun.
You’ll be looking out for number one.
And singing California Here I Come.
Congrats son.
The second California song is only 52 years old. It’s the hit song from 1972, sung by America called “Ventura Highway.“
Blake to help you sing “Ventura Highway” here are some of the lyrics:
Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You’re gonna go I know
‘Cause the free wind is blowing through
Your hair
And the days surround your daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
Damn it! Now I can’t get that tune out of my head.
Blake, I picture you singing this tune while your driving on Ventura Highway. Your hair is blowing in the wind, it’s a sunny afternoon, your hands on the wheel, and all the while you’re wondering, “What the hell are alligator lizards?”
Son, break a leg on Ventura Blvd.
And watch out for those pesky, damn flying alligator lizards. I hear those nasty creatures are a real pain in the ass.
Love, Dad
