In the late 1960s, Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley quit their jobs as staff songwriters in Los Angeles and moved to Kansas City to work shitty jobs and focus on creating music together. That partnership yielded “One Toke Over the Line,†one of the most famous songs ever associated with an act from our fair city. It was a big enough hit to be included on the AM Gold compilation (the Nuggets of the 1970s folk-rock/easy-listening scene) and quoted in Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Have some fucking respect for your elders and get your ass down to Crossroads KC to see these guys.
