Goodfellas meets Savages meets Catch Me If You Can in this true tale of high-stakes smuggling from pot's outlaw years.Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish. With cameos by Whitey Bulger and Norman Mailer, Smuggler's Blues tells Stratton's adventure while centering on his last years as he travels from New York to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to source and smuggle high-grade hash in the midst of civil war, from the Caribbean to the backwoods of Maine, and from the Chelsea Hotel to the Plaza as his fortunes rise and fall. All the while he is being pursued by his nemesis, a philosophical DEA agent who respects him for his good business practices.A true-crime story that reads like fiction, Smuggler's Blues is a psychedelic road trip through international drug smuggling, the hippie underground, and the war on weed. As Big Marijuana emerges, it brings to vivid life an important chapter in pot's cultural history.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Songwriters Hall of Fame member Jack Tempchin is probably best known for the hits he penned for the Eagles. "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Already Gone" are two of the most heard songs in history. He also helped Glenn Frey have a few solo hits like "Smuggler's Blues" and "You Belong to the City" among others. Johnny Rivers, Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker and George Jones are also in his history. Today, Jack has a couple projects he's super excited about. First, he's collaborating with the great young rock band, Mrs Henry to re record some of his songs. He's also launched Jack's Beach Jams where he records himself writing a song on the spot at the beach by his house. Both of these further cement Jack's immense talent that includes his amazing solo work. Jack and I get into all of it.

For Episode 100 I hade my original Podcasting partner back. Niko Tavernise and I had a podcast 12ish years ago called “The Downward Spiral” where we'd catch up on what we're doing- Niko is a Set photographer in the film industry and has a unique perspective on Hollywood. Then we'd spiral; I roam the Internet looking for weird stories of depravity and we'd dissect them. Recently the ones I find the most fun are about smugglers and what they go through to get their contraband across boarders. This week we told some personal smuggling stories and find ourselves with people getting caught in unfortunate ways. DSP is one of my favorite things to do and I love Niko like a brother, so getting to host ‘reunion' eps on Full Blast is really awesome. Go back in the Archives of FB to hear earlier eps of The Downward Spiral. Thanks for all the support of the Show, I'm overwhelmed and I appreciate the hell out of you.

Although they had been steadily growing in popularity since their debut in the mid-70's, Dire Straits would become a household name with their fifth studio album, Brothers In Arms.  Between the catchy hooks accessible on both rock and adult contemporary radio, and the video-driven appeal of the group on MTV, DIre Strats became an arena group in 1985.This album found Dire Straits composed of John Illsley on bass, Terry Williams on drums, Alan Clark on piano and organ, Guy Fletcher on synthesizer, and of course the primary driver, songwriter, and co-producer for the album was Mark Knopfler.  Additionally, Jazz drummer Omar Hakim was brought in to re-record much of the percussion work, though Williams remained the drummer for the band.Knopfler was quite the perfectionist when it came to sound, and this album would be the first to be recorded entirely digitally.  It is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the first compact disc to sell a million copies.The success Dire Straits had with this album may have led to the groups undoing.  Knopfler was uncomfortable with the fame, thinking that people were coming to the shows for the celebrity rather than the music.  The group would take a hiatus following the "Brothers In Arms" tour, and would produce one more studio album before disbanding.  Knopfler would go on to produce solo work as well as collaborate with other artists including Eric Clapton , Thomas Dolby, and Bob Dylan.  Dire Straits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. So Far AwayThis is the opening track on the album and the lead single in the UK, released in April of 1985, ahead of the album.  It would be the third single in the US where it hit number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It is about carrying on a long-distance relationship.Your Latest TrickA melancholy deep cut, this song features Randy Brecker on trumpet and Michael Brecker on saxophone.  It is clearly referencing prostitution, but it has a feel of loneliness and emptiness.  Some say it is about a relationship and some say it is about society in general.  The night is over, everyone is going home, and the guy is left alone wondering what happened.One WorldAnother deep cut, and more blues-oriented.  "Can't get no remedy on my TV, it's nothing but the same old news.  Well, they can't find a way to be one world in harmony.  Can't get no antidote for blues."  Tony Levin was brought in to play bass on this one. Walk of LifeThis hit almost didn't make the album.  Co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its being included, but the band outvoted him.  It made it to number 7 on the US charts, and was one of their biggest commercial hits in the UK, peaking at number 2 there.  It is about the street musicians in London playing standards in the subways. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:This is Not America by Pat Metheny and David Bowie (from the motion picture The Falcon and the Snowman)This show about American kids turned Soviet spies was in the theaters in February 1985, and this song was on the charts in May. STAFF PICKS:Obsession by AnimotionWayne kicks off our staff picks with a synth pop hit that was a staple of every dance floor in 1985.  Animotion covered this song, originally performed by Holly Knight and Michael Des Barres in 1983.  The song was developed at first thinking about the obsession of drugs, but it transformed into an obsession with a person when it was done. Smuggler's Blues by Glenn FreyBrian's staff pick was well known at the time from Miami Vice.  "You be cool for 20 hours and I'll pay you 20 grand."  One of the things that made Miami Vice such a popular draw was its use not just of cool actors in Miami, but also using cameos from the music world.  Glenn Frey appeared as a smuggler in the episode where "Smuggler's Blues" was played.Sussudio by Phil CollinsRob's staff pick is the lead track from Collins' third solo album "No Jacket Required."  The drum machine and horns made this a polarizing song, with lots of people loving it and lots hating it.  It was a big hit in the summer of 1985, and Phil Collins has mentioned that this song is the one most often sung to him when strangers approach.Marlene on the Wall by Suzanne VegaBruce closes out the staff picks with a song inspired by Marlene Dietrich.  Singer songwriter Suzanne Vega heard Dietrich responding to a controversial statement, "You have lead many men to death with your body." with the perfect response, "Give me a kiss."  This was the lead track off Vega's debut album, dealing with loneliness and a strained relationship. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Lady In My Life by Stanley JordanJazz guitarist Stanley Jordan covers a deep cut from Michael Jackson's Thriller album to close out this week's podcast.

Richard Stratton : Smuggler's Blues: A True Story of the Hippie MafiaGoodfellas meets Savages meets Catch Me If You Can in this true tale of high-stakes smuggling from pot's outlaw years.Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish. With cameos by Whitey Bulger and Norman Mailer, Smuggler's Blues tells Stratton's adventure while centering on his last years as he travels from New York to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to source and smuggle high-grade hash in the midst of civil war, from the Caribbean to the backwoods of Maine, and from the Chelsea Hotel to the Plaza as his fortunes rise and fall. All the while he is being pursued by his nemesis, a philosophical DEA agent who respects him for his good business practices.A true-crime story that reads like fiction, Smuggler's Blues is a psychedelic road trip through international drug smuggling, the hippie underground, and the war on weed. As Big Marijuana emerges, it brings to vivid life an important chapter in pot's cultural history.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
