Episode 74 was a special episode entitled The 4/20 Episode.
I started off the show by expressing my personal views on the cultural impact of 4/20 which is infamously known as a date to smoke cannabis.
Though I do not participate in these types of activities, or support the habit itself, I expressed that I understand how important this date is for our student population, and how I do appreciate it's place in culture, though the act remains illegal in most countries.
So, in a bold move to help others enjoy their day we put together this special episode.
I featured vocals and audio from the 1936 documentary "Reefer Madness", a anti drug campaign video that was made in the United States in an effort to stress the effects of smoking Marijuana.
Some feel the video goes to the extremes, and over-dramatizes the effects of smoking marijuana and see it more as a "comical" documentary rather than as it was it's originally intended to be seen as a "anti-cannabis" documentary.
We featured the following tracks:
1) Easy All Stars - Speak To Me (Breathe)
2) Andy Capp - Herbsman
3) Ken Boothe - I Shot The Sheriff
4) Joe White - Ganja
5) Easy All Stars - Great Dub In The Sky
6) Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You (Live from Woodstock)
7) Peggy Lee - A Doodlin Song
Also on this weeks show, I informed our listeners that we will not air on Wednesday April 27th as UMFM 101.5 will be hosting a local political debate from. For more information, log on to http://umfm.com or tune in to UMFM Starting on Tuesday April 26th and again on Wednesday April 27th.
