Rock-n-Roll Boots – so apPEELing

The We're Here! gang is getting their rock'n'roll shoes on today.

 

When I saw Xavier's wonderful image (see in first comment) today, I knew what I must do.

 

Some of you might remember that people tried to smoke banana peels to get high back in the 70s. Here's a story about the early promotion of banana joints:

 

In 1967, Country Joe McDonald, lead singer of Country Joe & the Fish, found a large banana previously used as part of decoration of a parade float. The band strapped the banana to a car and drove around the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco to promote their band.

 

During this afternoon, the band announced from a bull horn that smoking banana peels would induce a hallucinogenic response. Country Joe & the Fish also passed out banana peel joints to audience members at concerts.
