"The men in uniform allege I swallowed some quantity of hemp. My shit was sent for lab test. Result negative. Which brings us to..."
How is it that we have not yet posted any Fela? As the man himself might have said, "It's no possible!"Not only is Fela a legend, but his tale of "expensive shit"- being set up by the cops on a dewby possession rap- is still relevant. When you think about it, that kind of expensive shit is still going on today. At least the Nigerian police had a sample of Fela's shit to test (or so they thought- legend has it that Fela had another inmate donate his "clean" shit to the cause).
Anyways, here in the good ol' U.S. of A., we have shitheaded police who think, I dunno, that they can somehow drug test a photograph. (Oh, and dudes, I totally predicted it: they arrested the bong owner for- wait for it!- trying to sell it on eBay. Dumbass.) Of course, the Michael Phelps incident is simply representative of the plight of tens of thousands of Americans- most of whom lack celebrity and riches- caught up in our government's war against a plant. I think Fela would have found our co-called "Drug War" as amusing as he would find it appalling.
Oh wait- this was supposed to be a Happy Hour post, right? Brothers and sisters, I don't know about you, but it's been an awful long week here in Dewbyland. So, without further ado, let's get into it and get it started proper with some classic Fela:
