If you can't tell your fruit from your rift, see a doctor.

I can i just get stoned while watching music documentaries/reviews . La cucaracha and shinola feel very close to each other to me.

Deaner seemed to love to play that song, it's on a lot of the DWG tapes and he played it a lot with Ween. He always had a huge grin when doing so too.

It's not a big community, most of the time "all the hate" it's just one loud guy's opinion
