Thread: I don't smoke pot, but 4:20 songs...

  1. #1

    I don't smoke pot, but 4:20 songs...

    Wouldn't it be cool to make a compilation CD of prog songs that are 4:20 minutes long?

    Here's one: Cairo's Cosmic Approach.

    Got any others?







    Go!

    It'd be much more interesting if it was 4'33''.

    When I smoked pot, Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans reigned supreme.

    I refuse to listen to or watch prog without a gigantic snifter of brandy.

    A bunch of school kids at some point would get together after school at 4:20 pm and smoke the weed and that's how it got that name. It's been code ever since. I'm not sure when these high school kids did this though maybe in the nineties.

    Okay, here is one more notable 4:20 track:

    Lenny Johnson - from Transatlantic - The Whirlwind bonus CD
    "The world will soon be right again,
    Innocence and undying love will reign."
    - Transatlantic

    Why?
    Sorry, I don't understand the significance of 4.20.
    I would understand if it was 4.33 reflecting the utter stupidity & arrogance of John Cage and his 4.33.
    But what is 4.20?

    Why wait to 4:20? When I was in high school (late 70s/early 80s), some of my friends were getting stoned before school at around 6:30 or 7 am and then they skipped the last hour or two to go home and get high some more. Wonder whatever became of them?

    It's because of Matthew 4:20 - " And Jesus did roll the spliff so fat and huge that he passed it among all the people for a toke."

    CTTOI, this thread is one toke over the line.

    Movement 2 from Anthony Phillips' 'Tarka' is 16:20 - if it's prog you have to allow the 24-hour clock!
