more Cheech

Hey This is so cool! I love the response to this blog.
I am not knocking Cheech for doing other projects. Hey
this is a free country and you are allowed to follow
your dream regardless however don't forget where you
come from and respect your fans who gave you the fame
that enabled you to follow your "dream". It hurt me
when Cheech agreed to do a solo movie "Born in East
L.A. because he cut me out entirely which hurt me
financially as well as professionally. I wrote most of
the material that went into our projects records,
movies,songs etc yet I shared 50 - 50 with Cheech. I
directed four of the movies officially and two
unoffically ( Up In Smoke and Things Are Tough All
Over) and I still shared 50- 50 with Cheech. Cheech
had first billing and I put his wife Rikki in Next
Movie even though she had no previous acting credits
or experience. I bent over backwards to please Cheech
in everyway I could yet when he recieved an offer to
do a movie without me he took it. He broke up the
team. When I asked about our act he said and I quote
"its yours" " you got it".And he removed every vestage
of Cheech and Chong from his house.
Cheech cut me out of his life as well. I was not
invited to his wedding to Patty. And as you see he
cut me out of his credits on "Duets". Cheech recently
offered me a job through his manager where I would be
part of a cast of a play he was writing. However if I
was to sign on I would have to give up alll my own
projects including performing live with Shelby. I
would have to quit writing the play Up In Smoke and I
would be just an actor. Of course I turned this
fabulous offer down.
The insulting part of the offer was that it came from
Ben
Cheech's manager and not Cheech.
I really don't know the Cheech that recently performed
on Duets. I am like our fans, whom I adore, who would
rather rent Up In Smoke when they need a Cheech and
Chong fix because the Cheech in Up In Smoke is the
Cheech I will always remember and love.......tc

daily report from the Chong

Hey now...Just finished with the George Lopez show. I
played his neighbor who he mistakes for a sex
offfender. We had a great time laughing between takes
and during takes. George is a comic genius. His
standup is the best by far...he is the One Amigo that
jumped ahead of the pack and stayed there.
I started filming everything for a Reality show
staring Shelby and Chong. We haven't shot Shelby yet (
tomorrow) but we shot the Lopez stuff and some in the
animation studio with me mate Paulie. George and I
talked about Cheech and why he has changed so
radically. I told him how :Louis Valdez, the movie
director once critized Cheech for doing the "Cheech"
character ( Pedro in Up In Smoke) because it some how
insulted the "Chicano" community and George replied
"Thats not the way the Chicano community took it. They
loved the Cheech character and would love to see him
doing that character again". They sure don't want to
see him trying to do the Duets again...Anyway thats
the news of the day from your favorite stoner....peace
and hi to all you people who answer this blog....tc

daily report from the Chong

Ok We shot the first day of our reality show pilot.
Actually the second day....Don't know what to say
because it needs editting. We shot some footage of the
Lopez Show and we have been invited down to the stage
to be introduced and to take a curtain call...We were
headed down to La Jolla for a gig this weekend at the
comedy club so we postponed the drive to do the bow.
All this for the "Reality Show". George and I talked
about Cheech's Duets and the possibility of us
"reuniting". George is a huge Cheech and Chong fan and
he would love to see us back doing the classics but I
told him Cheech wants to "go streight" and he said he
would talk to him. George and Cheech are golfing
buddies. I tried playing golf but it didn't take. I'd
rather Tango...More fun holding a warm lady then a
cold golf club eh? Oh I had my ozone treatment and I
feel so damn good! No more hacking and
coughing...lungs are clear and workng great! Can't
wait to go back smoking the herb again! I will as soon
as the Democrats are back in power and the Republicans
are back in jail! So everyone drive carefully because
I will be out there tonight with cameras so watch for
a black Prius...it will be me....tc
