FITSNews – February 28, 2008 – Atlanta-based soul rockers The Black Crowes will be performing at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia this April as part of the GridIron Bash, a series of Spring Football kickoff concerts. At least that’s what we think this group of super hot Tri-Delts was trying to tell us last night. Honestly, they could have been passing out flyers to a Jonesboro-style mass suicide for all we know.
The Crowes, whose 1992 album Southern Harmony and Musical Companion ranks among the greatest soul-rock records ever made, have been back together now for a little over three years since the band took an “indefinite hiatus” from 2002-2005.
We don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that “weed” may have been involved there, because frankly these guys have smoked enough pot in their lives to fill a small park … like Central Park. Which is why in addition to their kick-ass live shows, the Crowes are probably best known for their advocacy on behalf of marijuana legalization.
We’re pretty stoked about the show, people. In fact, we’re filling out our press credentials right now so that we, too, can experience an Almost Famous moment on the Crowes tour bus. One that will hopefully involve some bodacious governmnent-quality weed. Wait, did we say that?
