How long was chong in jail

I think Keith Moon was there and Ringo, but Ringo turned it down because he was on the wagon. So again, I smoked in his presence. But George, George and I smoked up a bunch of times. I met George at this hippie party way out in Malibu. He was Wally. He was at the party, too. I got high with George a bunch of times. He was a real beautiful guy. Yeah, that was a good tune. It was written by a Canadian guitarist named Gaye Delorme.

He plays guitar on the tune. I wrote the lyrics and Gaye wrote the music. He was playing this standard guitar that was made in Canada, and he was trying to sell one to Joni and Geffen shot it down. Another funny story, I saw Geffen years later, but he never saw me. I went in to a plastic surgeon to get some work done on myself, and the doctor was kind of star-struck, telling me about all of the different patients and how David Geffen is in the recovery room.

My son and I grew about 20 plants on the roof and when we were trimming them, some buds would fall on the floor and my son would walk on them. I still got those habits. I made a rule: I never get high with what they give me. Cheech got burned a few times where it was a little more than what he expected.

When I was on the road by myself, I used to give all the weed to the opening acts. They loved me. Is there anything else you wanted to add about anything?
