Iconic star who sang about drugs dies after saying they 'want to go home'


One half of the Folk rock duo Brewer & Shipley, who were known for their hit One Toke Over the Line, has passed away at the age of 80 after a battle with poor health

The song One Toke Over The Line was name-dropped in the first chapter of Hunter S. Thompson's iconic novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, according to the duo's Facebook page. It has also been featured in several films, including Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas and St. Vincent, as well as in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto IV. In an interview with NPR's A Breath of Fresh Air in February 2022, Brewer revealed that the idea for the song, which was their only Top 40 single, originated from a joke about getting high.
