The Reefer Song ~ Night Shift [1977]

Posted on December 21, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Back in 1977, I was the drummer for a rock band called Night Shift. Our very talented lead guitarist/vocalist, Ronnie McCarley, wrote most of our material at the time. One of the things he wrote was “The Reefer Song,” which, with the help of my friend Bobby Jackson, I was able to rescue from an ancient, gnarled tape that was all but unsalvageable, had anyone but Bobby been working on it. But salvage it he did, and I created a little slideshow video to go with it. Enjoy!

Chronic Art: Dude Makes Amazing Mosaics From Roach Papers

Posted on December 5, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Cliff Maynard of Pittsburgh has blazed a unique trail on the stoner art scene. The 37-year-old creates amazing mosaics using the humble medium of used roach papers from smoked joints. Amazingly, this is just something Cliff does in his spare time. He’s one of Pittsburgh’s finest tattoo artists at his day job. But it’s his roach paper Chronic Art that has captured the imagination of folks nationwide. As a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Cliff had the opportunity to take inspiration from the great mosaics of the past. “I was studying mosaics in school,” Maynard remembers. “I just remember sort of making this connection in my head between the tiles and roach papers.” His roach paper portraits include iconic rock star stoners like Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and John Lennon, and rap stars like Snoop Dogg and Method Man.
