Re: [kinks] Do you think the Kinks smoked a lot of pot?

I think they did! Some songs just sound well drug influenced if you get what I
mean- take Lazy Old Sun, I reckon that sounds pretty much drug influenced, dunno
about specific references in songs- good point on the Blazin', I'll have to
listen again!

Other bands, like the Beatles or Stones openly sang about marijuana

Ofcourse, they were a rock band in the sixties...so you'd think they
would...

In the song Sunny Afternoon it has been said the lyrics are "Lazin'
on a Sunny Afternoon"...but I still stand it's "Blazin'..." perhaps
the only marijuana reference of the Pye era?
