ABOUT THE NEW TUNE “what are you smoking?”:
Synopsis:
Our heads have been up our asses for some time: we compete for who has the greener lawn, better partner, better car, the more popular friends.
We hate perfectly-friendly people based on just one of their political views.
We judge our friends online and feel bad when they have success.
So how do we get our priorities back on track?
“What Are We Smoking? We can become fully aware of stupid societal pressures that keep us on the hamster wheel.
Society tricks you into wanting things you don’t need. It’s that dopamine rush you get from buying a new coffee-maker on Amazon, or getting more likes on that post about your breakfast, or showing the world how many points your kid scored in the 7th grade semifinal.
Keeping score off the court is bad.
It’s not about how much we produce, it’s about the quality of our production.
It’s not about what you do online as much as what you do in real life.
Digital friends are just 1’s and 0’s in a code. Real friends come to your bon fire and provide free therapy.
The big question is...what do we really want?
In the meantime, we gotta ask ourselves, “what are we smoking?”
"Showcases the unapologetically frank but not overly aggressive nature of 90s alt. rock perfectly."

"Newski's live shows are part rock n' roll, part stand up, and part therapy. In the end, the room is won over." -Jim McGuinn, The Current, MPLS
