Interview with Guitarist, Bassist, and Singer Miles Doughty

You are President of the United States. Tell us about the master plan to legalize it:

Honestly, the way to approach it is like this:
How many people die from alcohol related deaths each year? About 400,000.
How many people die from cigarettes each year? About the same.
How many people die from government prescribed pharmaceutical drugs? Again about the same.
How many people die from weed? ZERO. Imagine that!!!


It seems to me that the other 3 seem to be a little bit bigger of a problem when over a million people a year die from something that's advertised to be what you need. They say that if you taxed the herbs, it could generate $1.9 billion in extra revenue for California alone. Doesn't that sound like a better option than cutting education for our children or spending billions of tax payers' money on the 'war on drugs' joke that the government wants you to believe? And we need more accountability since the gap between rich and poor is ridiculous. Remember that it's the people of this country that make it what it is, not the government. I'm just tired of leaders that have no idea what it's like to be poor or middle class try to tell the rest of the country what is best for them! Instead of spending what we do overseas each year, we should spend it on our own people or possibly not raise taxes, or cut education, maybe do something to bring up the poor communities. You could talk for days about this. Let's just start with legalizing weed.

Complete the following analogies:

Reggae is to Music as
______ is to Movies
______ is to the Animal kingdom
______ is to Automobiles
______ is to Food & Beverage


Scarface, Lions, my '69 Bronco, Carne Asada Burritos.

Funniest or most entertaining story involving your tour mate Snoop Dogg:

What happens on tour stays on tour.

Funniest or most entertaining story involving female fans getting naked:

This is one of those incriminating questions so I'll leave this one alone.

Who in the band exhibits the most disturbing behavioral issues?

Honestly we really don't give a shit because we don't understand how the law could come to shows and arrest kids for blazing when there's real crimes happening outside the show. That's why people don't like cops; they're not there when you really need 'em, and they're there when you don't. Go figure!

Situational question: You are in the middle of a song, say 'No Cocaine', and one of your friends in the audience gets in a fight with a drunken asshole who has been heckling you for no reason. What do you do?

You stop the song for a minute, get the crowd heckling him, then get him the fuck out so the rest of the kids can have fun.

Fill in the blanks:

The best venue in the world to play a show is __________ because __________.

Red rocks, its natural vibes and the good people of Colorado.

If you like ________, then you will love Slightly Stoopid.

I don't like to say that. How about come out to the show and check out the madness!

Slightly Stoopid will never get searched at the border because __________.

We already have and know to get rid of that shit b4 you cross.

Thanks for your time Miles.  Anything you want to say to the people of Phoenix before you take the stage at AZ Fall Frenzy?

Always grateful for the love Phoenix has shown Slightly Stoopid. Thanks and get ready to blaze!
