Tommy and Shelby Chong Coming to Denver

Tommy and Shelby Chong will be at the Denver Improv this weekend. The Denver Post had a chance to interview Tommy via phone.

When asked about the legacy of the Cheech and Chong albums and films, Tommy says "our albums still sell. We've been getting checks for like 40 years, and we're just now starting to animate all the records."

Tommy is referring to the project he has with Lou Adler's (the Producer of their albums and Director of Up In Smoke) animation company. Tommy and Lou plan to animate some of the best Cheech and Chong bits, just as Lou did with Earache My Eye which can be seen on Up In Smoke: High-larious Edition DVD. It really turned out great. You should pick it up if you haven't seen it.

When asked about the chances of a Cheech and Chong reunion, Tommy responds "No, not really...He wants to get together, but he just wants the money. He doesn't want to be Cheech, and he doesn't want to do pot humor."
