Cheech & Chong to reunite

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on August 5th, 2008

And, according to the Live Nation site, the pair will kick off the tour in Philly (at, we assume, The Tower, since the article lists “Upper Darby” as the location of the venue).

Don’t you know we’ll be gigging that night? Damn! It’s history!

And it might be a good idea to see them early in the tour… things sound a bit volatile:

Marin told the Associated Press that the pair has tried to reunite in the past, but always ended up fighting too much with each other.

“It takes about 3 minutes for that to happen. There’s this veiled hatred,” he said. “We’ve kind of resolved that.”

Kind of? The folks insuring this venture can’t be too happy with that quote! Get a front row seat– it’s kinda hard to discern veiled hatred from the back row! (Hell, there might even be a mid-set walk-off halfway through the tour!)

Marin adds: “We’ve gotten to the age where we don’t feel like fighting anymore because the end is a lot closer than the beginning.” We’re betting that not even the prospect of their impending demise can enable the pair to overlook their “veiled hatred.” Get to the show early and don’t even leave to use the bathroom.
