Hide the bong! Cheech & Chong are coming back.
Billboard magazine reported today that the comedy duo will reunite for its first tour in 25 years. Details for the "Hey, What's That Smell" tour were scheduled to be announced later today (Wednesday) at a press conference in California.
In a world of Harold & Kumar, it's probably safe for Cheech & Chong to return, though it's doubtful many younger fans know how much of a stir they created in the 1970s with their pot-based humor.
Just hope ticket prices aren't as high as they are.

Billboard and Rolling Stone both report that Bob Dylan will unleash the next installment of his "Bootleg" series on Oct. 7. The three CD package will include outtakes and live versions of songs he wrote for more recent CDs, such as "Modern Times," "Love and Theft," and "Time Out of MInd," as well as "Oh Mercy."

How about Jack White of White Stripes and Raconteurs hooking up with Alicia Keys? They'll record the theme for the next James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace," due out in November. If anyone can write something that makes sense of THAT title, it's Jack White.

AC/DC will reportedly hit the road for an 18-month tour starting in October to support their next CD - their first studio one in eight years. Don't expect an Erie show. At this point, their legend looms too large for them to play a city our size. They'l'l likely stick to arenas.
Rolling Stone says the tour will open on Halloween in Chicago, preceded by a single -- "Rock & Roll Train" -- that'll hit radio in late August.

Cool news for Creedence Clearwater Revival fans. Reuters reports the Concord Music Group will reissue the band's first six CDs in September. Each one will include extensive liner notes, plus unreleased studio tracks, including some versions of classics the band recorded with Booker T and the MGs.
Look for them to arrive on Sept. 30.
