Mention Of Drugs And Zappa In The Same Place, Who Would Have Thought?

Adding the Ohio Twist to a Typical Story

You’ve all seen debates on the legalization of medical marijuana by now, whether it was in a college paper, an issue of High Times, a medical journal, a PBS special, or even an episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullshit, but The Free Times goes at it yet again. This time the stories involve Ohio residents and we learn that the Buckeye state was the first to legalize marijuana usage for medical purposes, even if it didn’t last long back in ’96. Now, however, Ohio seems to be far behind compared to other states and their legislature. Get the nitty gritty on the sticky icky.

Rock Hall Gets Wacky for Zappa

Everyone’s favorite free-form freak of rock, Frank Zappa, will be celebrated by the Rock Hall next month in a series of events including a trippy orchestral performance and talks given by musicians who rocked with him. Check The Plain Dealer for dates, times, blah, blah, blah.

Talking Race in Cleveland Heights

Last night saw the first of three race forums in Cleveland Heights. With a turn out of 400 it appears people do in fact care. Both black and white residents were on hand to talk about race issues that concerned them. The Plain Dealer drops some of those topics, and offers info on the next two forums for those who are interested in attending. Get it all here.

Blackwell Shoves One More Thorn in the Side of Ohio

Leave it to a blog we insult to serve up a juicy piece of political gossip. That’s right, Scene’s own C-Notes reveals that Ken Blackwell is spending just a little bit on his way out. Namely $80,000. Oh, and why you are over at C-Notes you can read about the battle of the bands judged by Bif Naked that you missed at the Rock Hall last night. We know a lot of you are going to be pissed about us not keeping you informed on this, so we apologize.
