Dinner and a buzz at Ganja Gourmet -- latimes.com:
"Reporting from Denver - At the Ganja Gourmet, the chef's first order of business on a recent weekday morning was to whip up a meat lasagna.
Her next was to entice customers to try it.
'Dinner Buzz Special,' Jenny Fowler wrote on a dry-erase board. 'Start with our ganjanade [ganja tapenade], bread and a fat dank joint! Then choose from a slice of pizza or LaGanja [lasagna]. Then top it off with a Ganja Gourmet dessert, your choice, $30.'
This, pronounced owner Steve Horwitz as he watched over her shoulder, was a dinner special no other restaurant in America could claim.
Technically, the Ganja Gourmet, in a modest brick building on a worn boulevard among gas stations, hookah shops and antique stores, is not a restaurant -- it is a medical marijuana dispensary, one of many that have sprung up this year throughout Colorado."

"OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington is one of four states where measures to legalize and regulate marijuana have been introduced, and about two dozen other states are considering bills ranging from medical marijuana to decriminalizing possession of small amounts of the herb.

"Vic Chesnutt, whose darkly comic songs about mortality, vulnerability and life’s simple joys made him a favorite of critics and fellow musicians, died Friday in a hospital in Athens, Ga., a family spokesman said. He was 45 and lived in Athens.

...Although he never had blockbuster record sales, Mr. Chesnutt was a prolific songwriter who remained a mainstay on the independent music circuit for two decades, making more than 15 albums.
Musicians flocked to work with him: he recorded with the bands Lambchop, Widespread Panic and Elf Power, as well as the jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and in a recent burst of creative activity he made two albums with a band that included Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and members of the Montreal indie-rock group Thee Silver Mt. Zion.
...A documentary, “Speed Racer: Welcome to the World of Vic Chesnutt,” was released in 1993, and in 1996 his songs were performed by Madonna, the Indigo Girls, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M. and others for “Sweet Relief II: The Gravity of the Situation,” an album that benefited the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a nonprofit group that offers musicians medical support."

The wait is finally over for the Stooges | freep.com | Detroit Free Press:
"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sure made the Stooges wait.
The band that gave the world Iggy Pop became eligible for hall consideration in 1994, 25 years after the release of the group's first recording. It can be argued that they are among the most influential groups in rock history, but the Stooges were denied entry seven times after making it through the nomination process -- before finally making the cut in the 2009 Hall of Fame induction class announced Tuesday, a class that includes ABBA, Genesis, the Hollies and Jimmy Cliff.
For the Stooges, 'twas ever thus.
Formed in 1967 in Ann Arbor as the Psychedelic Stooges, the quartet was a product of the freewheeling, no-holds-barred late-'60s zeitgeist. Yet how the band chose to exercise that freedom put them at odds with the prevailing rock culture from day one. Only front man Iggy Pop, the former blues drummer known to his parents as Jim Osterberg, had any appreciable music experience. But he had an idea, and recruited Pioneer High School acquaintances Ron Asheton (guitar), his brother Scott Asheton (drums) and Dave Alexander (bass) to build it from the ground up."

'When Giants Walked the Earth' by Mick Wall -- latimes.com
'When Giants Walked the Earth' by Mick Wall -- latimes.com:
"Anyone familiar with Page knows that he admires early-20th century Magus Aleister Crowley. This is not a passing fancy or a superficial flirtation: Page, Wall says, found in Crowley's work a philosophy that embraced self-expression, not the devil. That, however, didn't stop the band from being seen in that light.
Associating music with the devil didn't start with Led Zeppelin. As Wall points out, the myth begins with bluesman Robert Johnson, who, legend has it, sold his soul at a deserted crossroads so he could play guitar.
Page, Wall reminds us, forged his chops and style not at the crossroads but as a much-wanted session man who wanted to do more -- more than the pop hits that the Yardbirds were scoring when he joined them alongside fellow guitarist Jeff Beck.
Yet as Zeppelin's success skyrocketed in the early 1970s, Page and Plant openly courted an unearthly, occult identity for the band. There seemed to be an obscure system of symbolism and ritual at work that seeped into the albums and performances, creating for Page 'an energy . . . that the audience picked up on and sent back to us. Really powerful stuff. . . .'" Sphere: Related Content

The Canadian Press: James Gurley, innovative guitarist for Joplin's Big Brother band, dead at 69
The Canadian Press: James Gurley, innovative guitarist for Joplin's Big Brother band, dead at 69:
"LOS ANGELES — James Gurley, the innovative guitarist who helped shape psychedelic rock's multilayered, sometimes thundering sounds as a member of Big Brother and the Holding Company, the band that propelled Janis Joplin to fame, has died of a heart attack. He was 69.
Gurley was pronounced dead Sunday at a Palm Springs hospital, two days before his 70th birthday, the band announced on its website.
One of many prominent guitarists to emerge from San Francisco's psychedelic music scene in the mid-1960s - others included the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, Jefferson Airplane's Jorma Kaukonen and Barry Melton of Country Joe and the Fish - Gurley was hailed by many as the original innovator of the sound.
'I would say all of my guitar-playing contemporaries strived to have their own sound, but I think James was a huge influence on all of us because he wasn't afraid to break the boundaries of conventional music,' Melton said Thursday.
'What one thinks of that genre of music is that place that it takes you to where the beat is just assumed and the whole thing is transported to another place, and James is the guy who started that.'
Doing things like using an electric vibrator as a slide on his guitar, and picking up amplifiers and shaking them during performances, Gurley created a loud, esoteric sound that was the driving force behind Joplin's voice on such classic songs as 'Ball and Chain,' 'Piece of My Heart' and 'Summertime.'"
