"This book killed me dead. A sprawling, character-driven epic set in India in the 1970s. It’s surely a modern masterpiece."

It's indisputably one of the greatest albums of 1970s, if not the entire the rock era. The end.

"Cheech and Chong were these stoned guys from the 1970s who got famous getting high and then made movies about getting high, which made them more famous. This is their first movie, and also their best. It is, quite possibly, the Citizen Kane of pot movies."
