Waitin' For A Train...

"Busted Flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train..."

"...Sittin' downtown in a railway station one toke over the line."

"He's leavin' on that midnight train to Georgia..."

Lots of songs out there about trains. For any of you that remember the song One Toke Over The Line by Brewer & Shipley, did you know that Dick Dale sang it on the Ed Sullivan Show? It's true http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye3ecDYxOkg (if the link doesn't work by clicking on it, just copy and paste it into your browser).

Apparently they thought it was a Christian song and had no idea it was about smoking pot.

Ahhh, the 70's. So innocent for some
