Brewer & Shipley
Fri, 12 Mar 2010|
We will be joined by singing/songwriting duo Brewer & Shipley who are probably best known for their Top 10 hit, "One Toke Over The Line" (1971). They will be playing in Framingham this Friday night at the Amazing Things Arts Center. The funny thing about B&S is that while "One Toke..." was being banned on radio stations across the country for its lyrical content (my how times have changed), and Spiro Agnew specifically referred to them as being "subversive to America's youth," the song was being performed on the Lawrence Welk Show.
