Dude, I’m so wasted
About 23 years ago me and my buddies were scoring acid from this kid Derek in the parking lot of the Gull, a gas station/mini-mart where the stoner kids hung out. He asked us if he could put it in his mouth for 30 seconds before he sold it to us. We said “no way!” and that’s a good thing, because I’m still high.
Or maybe it was from that time that we bought this doobie off this guy Keith in Chicago that smelled and tasted exactly like peanut skins. We knew you could get really high off of smoking peanut skins after we read it in the Anarchist Cookbook.
Yeah, and we also tripped really hard when we peeled the skins off 30 lbs. of bananas, scraped off the insides of the skins, baked it in the oven until it was all dry, smashed it up, and then put it in a pipe and smoked it. Bananadine, baby! Another Anarchist Cookbook classic. My dad came home during the middle of it and we told him it was a science project for school.
Or maybe it was the time in 1986 when we dried up a tequila worm on the dashboard of my friend’s Volkswagen Hippie Van and smoked it out of a pipe on the beach in Lincoln City, Oregon. Yeah, I am definitely still high off that!
Back in those days our favorite music to listen to whilst under the influence of hallucinogens like dried tequila worms were the albums Psychedelic Guitars, More Psychedelic Guitars, and The Zodiac (more on that one here).
Being high out of my mind was so cool. Except for that time when I was on acid and I was making out with this cheerleader. I was about to score and then I threw up on her thingies. But that’s another story.
So it turns out my friend Chrissor figured out that the Psychedelic Guitars series were actually put out by guitar legend Jerry Cole, who at various times recorded under the names Jerry Cole & His Spacemen, The Scramblers, The Blasters, The Stingers, Billy Boyd, Eddy Wayne, The Winners, The Hot Rodders, The Deuce Coupes, The Red Jackets, and The Id.
Without further ado, here are some samples of this master at work. All of these songs appeared on the Psychedelic Guitars series (not available on CD) with the exception of the song by The Id.
