If there’s one major perk to having a platinum-selling album, it’s finally being able to splurge on some of the things you’ve always wanted. Like the palatial 3,600-square-foot home outside of San Diego where singer-songwriter Jason Mraz now sits, loading up his glass bong. Nestled in a development-free spider-infested avocado grove, the Spanish-styled mini-mansion (which includes a guest house that’s soon to become a recording studio) boasts four bedrooms, 360-degree views, three fireplaces, a hot tub for eight and a tiki-lounge-like bar area adjacent to the pool. Talk about the ultimate stoner pad!
Turns out Mraz—whose 2002 debut, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, yielded the Top 40 hits “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” and “You and I Both”—had exactly that in mind when he bought the five-acre property a year ago and invited his bandmates …READ MOREtags: 88 « add a comment

Everybody knows Willie Nelson has a big heart, but you probably don’t know that he keeps it on a polished mahogany shelf next to the sturdy leather chair in the back of his fabled tour bus. ”The big red heart,” as Nelson calls it with a warm smile, is made of battered tin and once held a two-pound assortment of sandwich cookies; but when Willie pops the lid now, the sweet scent of marijuana hits you like a fragrant trade wind. Inside his heart, at any given moment, may be a half-ounce of pre-cleaned, finely ground cannabis. No sticks, and certainly no seeds.
“It’s a mixture,” Willie explains—a jambalya of all the good ganja that comes his way, combined via coffee grinder. He plucks a few fingers from the tin and throws down. I pull out a dense nug of Sour D and break it up to add to the mix. The HIGH TIMES interview has begun.
It’s hard to believe …READ MOREtags: 356 « add a comment

The High Times Interview with Willie Nelson appears in the October, 2005 edition of HIGH TIMES magazine and is on-sale now. Below are unedited excerpts that didn’t make it into the magazine because of space considerations.
EXCERPTS
RC: You know, we thought we were going to have longer and I was going ease my way into this but I haven’t got time to bullshit anybody. We need to get a picture of you smoking or a picture of you with some bud or we haven’t got much of a cover shot.
WN: Sure.
RC: Just like that. Okay. That makes my life easy! So we’re just gonna smoke and he’s gonna shoot as we talk.
WN: Sure. Let’s roll one up. I got some too.
(Willie pulls out a heart-shaped cookie tin)
RC: Hey, look at that!
WN (smiling as he pops the …READ MOREtags: 10 « add a comment

The year is 2002, and the multi-platinum Matchbox Twenty are about to release their third album, More Than You Think You Are. As the record’s getting its final touches, I’m invited to listen to some of the tracks at New York’s Hit Factory studio. Coming in, I expect to hear hits—as in hit singles. The engineer blasts songs like “Disease” (co-written by Mick Jagger) and “Bright Lights,” both future radio smashes, through the monitors. What I don’t expect to hear is the sound of bong hit after bong hit of the kindest New York nugs packed into a little plastic red Graffix. Frontman Rob Thomas is in the studio lounge waiting for feedback.
“Want a hit?” the singer-songwriter asks with a courteous gesture of the bong.
The smoke clears, and what transpires next is two hours of the most insightful, witty and intelligent …READ MOREtags: 85 « add a comment

Forging ahead of the hard-rock pack, Los Angeles-based Puddle Of Mudd are currently selling out shows across the country in support of their resounding platinum debut, Come Clean (Interscope). Despite being labeled the latest "bad boy of rock" for a recent arrest involving an abusive girlfriend, lead singer/rhythm guitarist Wes Scantlin deserves better headlines for the unwavering perseverance and hook-filled, post-slacker grunge-metal his quartet unleashes. Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, Scantlin was ready to give up on his then-unfulfilled music career when the karmic intervention of Fred Durst changed his luck.
Convinced by a friend to attend a Family Values concert with fake backstage passes, Scantlin managed to hand a demo to Durst's security guard, who promptly turned the tape over to the Limp Bizkit frontman. Intrigued by …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment
