Cheech & Chong

Light Up America

For many years I been a huge fan of Cheech & Chong because they are great entertainers. I use to rent the movies with an exgf of mine we would get stoned watch them over and over. Much like our site people either love you or they hate you. But good entertainment is good entertainment. Cheech & Chong give us a different perspective on life that life does not always have to be so serious. 

When people make threats against me for smoking marijuana or they s how hate against our society saying its wrong to smoke it.....you should not do it when hiking.....your not a good father etc its ignorance. Cheech and Chong are some of the best performers in comedy were just some of the best performers when it comes to paranormal comedy is all. 

I added this page into the mix because it tied into our El Dorado Canyon excursion since right after the adventure we went to see them live here in Las Vegas. On this page will be some videos and photos from the event. This was really a once in a life time thing for me a dream that came true.  I mean when you go to such an event you really find out your not the only one in the world that tokes weed.  One of our site missions is to have marijuana legalized because its not a drug it grows the same as any other plant and you can pick it....put it in the pipe smoke it naturally so why should you go to jail for that? It does not inhibit your ability to hike....it does not inhibit your ability to drive and it does not inhibit your ability to live life.

The concert was great Chong was in a tutu jamming on the guitar...while Chong was just straight out funny as always. The two make a wonderful team and I never thought they would ever reunite but they did. What is even more funny about it all is Tommy Chong was arrested because of a bong a bong that you can purchase at a fucking flea market or gas station serious. Now today he is making millions because of it so all it has done was boosts his notoriety in the comedy business.

Its like even our society people call us unorthodox everybody thinks you have to act a certain way to be successful at what you do. But what makes great comedy or great entertainment is the fact that you do things differently then the rest. One of my favorite episodes is Up In Smoke with the ice cream truck instead of handing out ice cream they are handing out weed hahahaha driving around oh man good stuff.

Below is a little more information on the performers...Chongs wife Shelby is as beautiful as always and they did a kick ass performance in Las Vegas. I had no battery left in my camera so I could only get a few small videos but PGS was there not TAPS lol. PGS smoked a bowl in El Dorado not TAPS lol and PGS is the first Paranormal Entertainment organization in the world. It does not make us frauds it just means we are here to please you as fans and members! 

You can read about some of my experience at the Palms seeing Cheech and Chong in The Descent. You can also add them on myspace just type in there names. I added Tommy Chong a couple weeks ago and its him. peace

Cheech & Chong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  (Redirected from Cheech and Chong)

Cheech & Chong are a comedy duo, consisting of Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong, who found a wide audience in the 1970s and 1980s for their stand-up routines, which were based upon the era's hippie, free love, and especially drug culture movements.

Background

The duo released a number of successful comedy albums, and starred in a series of low-budget films, becoming a highly successful comedy team. Their best-known comedy routines include "Earache My Eye," "Basketball Jones," "Santa Claus and his Old Lady," "Darin Navran From Solon High School is a Fag," and "Sister Mary Elephant." Perhaps their all-time most famous line is "Dave's not here," from their self-titled debut album.

Solo careers

In 1985 the duo released their album Get Out of My Room, which included the novelty hit song, "Born in East L.A." (based on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A."). This song would later serve as the basis for the 1987 film of the same name, in which Cheech Marin played the starring role. Immediately following the release of the album, Cheech Marin separated himself from the pair's drug-addled act by working on a solo career. In addition to starring in the aforementioned Born in East L.A. movie, he has performed character voices for several animated feature films, including Disney's Oliver and Company (1988), The Lion King (1994), and Cars (2006). Marin also starred in various comedy films, including The Shrimp on the Barbie, as a lead in several television series: Nash Bridges (which featured Chong in one episode and treated fans to "Dave's not here, man", to which Marin replied "Let's not go there"), a Cisco Kid series on cable starring Jimmy Smits as Cisco and Marin as his sidekick Pancho, and The Golden Palace, as well as a recurring guest role on Judging Amy. He had a memorable part as a bartender in the film Desperado, as well as other roles in successful Robert Rodriguez films such as From Dusk Till Dawn and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and has a recurring role as Hugo Reyes' (Hurley) father in the popular ABC series Lost. Recently, he appeared in the movie Christmas with the Kranks.

Tommy Chong also pursued a solo career, starring in such comedies as Far Out Man, in which Marin made an appearance. He co-starred on the FOX Television series That '70s Show in which he played Leo, a burned-out hippie very similar to his character Anthony Stoner (Man) in the movie Up in Smoke (1978). Chong also had a cameo in the U.S. Bicentennial movie spoof The Spirit of '76. In Dave Chappelle's 1998 comedy film Half Baked, Chong played "Squirrel Master" in the prison.

Reunion

The two reunited when they did voices for an episode of the animated television series South Park, though their voices were recorded separately. The duo also appeared in the video game Scarface: The World is Yours.

After their contentious parting in the '80s, the duo had a less-than-stellar friendship. Chong recalled going to Cheech's birthday party in 1994 and seeing Cheech "on the couch with his arm around his wife like we had just met. It wasn't comfortable."

The duo had plans to reunite for another film when Tommy Chong's California-based company, Chong's Bongs, was raided by federal officials on February 25, 2003, as part of a federal crackdown on "drug-related paraphernalia." Tommy Chong pleaded guilty to charges of distributing drug paraphernalia in May and on September 11, 2003, was sentenced to nine months in federal prison, fined US$20,000, and forced to forfeit US$120,000 in assets. He served the time between October 8, 2003 and July 7, 2004.

With Chong released, the duo planned to resume production on their latest opus. A variety of titles were rumored, including Grumpy Old Stoners. Cheech and Chong announced on September 8, 2005 that the reunion film had been canceled. In a 2007 interview, Chong hinted that the reunion may be back on.[1]

On June 3, 2008, Tommy Chong announced that, starting in September 2008, he will be reuniting with Cheech Marin for a comedy tour. Shelby Chong, Tommy's wife, will be opening.[2]

On July 3, 2008, Tommy Chong (on a live webcam chat) reconfirmed that he and Cheech will be doing another film, based on their reuniting and live bits from the aforementioned comedy tour.[citation needed]

On July 30, 2008, the team reunited to publicly announce their fall comedy tour, titled "Cheech and Chong Light Up America/Canada".[3] This announcement was made at a press conference in Philadelphia, USA, the first U.S. city on their tour. Ottawa was the first city worldwide on September 5, 2008.

Cheech & Chong for president as Shelby says. I CANNOT agree with her more. We need a president who is chill...stoned...and gives to the American People....better watch it I might run for Secretary of Defense lol

 

Cheech says hey baby want to go for a ride just like the old days the show really begins here as they both come out on stage and go for a drive!

Shelby talks about Tommy Chongs arrest they thought it was a TV reality show. Its ashamed he was arrested wrong on so many levels to begin with. But anyhow you get most of the humor if you want more go see them live they are touring the country.

Cheech sings a little bit of country and plays the guitar. Thank You Very Much!

Tommy Chong jams sorry the sound was to loud for the speaker on the camera but yeah some good jazz for you fans.
