ARGENTINE rocker Andres Calamaro was charged Monday for saying he would like to smoke marijuana – over 10 years ago.
"I feel so good that I could smoke a joint," Calamaro told a crowd of 100,000 fans on November 19, 1994 in La Plata, 50 kilometres south of Buenos Aries.
Calamaro, 43, thought he was off the hook in 1995 when a group of enraged parents hauled him before a judge, who dismissed the charges of justifying a crime.
It took over 10 years for the parents to find a less tolerant judge.
"This trial is absurd, it's Kafkaesque," Calamaro's lawyer, Jose Stefanuolo told reporters and a crowd of fans who came to support the rocker.
The lawyer said he will try to get the case dismissed. If that doesn't work, he will invoke the statute of limitations.

Oh God, this doesn't bode well for Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, or Method Man.

10 years, those parents are really perseverant.
By now, their kids are at college dropping acid.

im pretty sure you can add ed to that list... at soldier field '95 he said something to the effect of "i'd like to thank the grateful dead for playing here last night (in response to finding joints on the stage or something like that)"
i was pretty messed up at that show, but i'm almost positive something like this happened
