I think the only reason he put the line in the song was because Tommy was jealous of Cheech's appearance on "Taco Grande" and Al wanted to make it up to him. :P

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

I'm pretty sure that Chong went to jail for selling bongs over the internet.

He and his lawyers were hoping for a community service sentence as punishment for distributing thousands of bongs and marijuana pipes online through his California company, Nice Dreams Enterprises. The case against him was part of "Operation Pipe Dreams," a national investigation of drug paraphernalia distributors that began in Pittsburgh during the prosecution of Akhil Kumar Mishra and his wife, Rajeshwari, who ran two head shops Downtown in the 1990s.

Well, bongs kinda sounds like songs, so I could see why Al would be confused. :P

Now you've done it! Now we *have* to see your drawing of "sinister Al".

(Is it the photo from Alapaloza that they use on the homepage under "catalog"? Man, that pic just creeps me out for some reason.
No, it's the Poodle Hat publicity photo (I was at school bored so it's on lined paper)

I'll post it up if you insist, but I am just so good at making people look sinister... :/

I think that they were out to get Tommy Chong, to make an example of him, similar to the RIAA tactics. When the arresting officers came to get him and search his home, TC said (paraphrasing) "I'll show you where my stash is"... Officer: "I don't care about that, we're looking for your guns."
... because when you mix firearms with other crimes, there are additional penalties. If TC had any guns, he'd probably still be in jail.
