The Disillusion of the Cannabis Industry

The Cannabis industry is creating several ways for people to generate new ideas, create new products, develop or tweak services and make large sums of cash.  With all these ways to venture into the Cannabis industry, one must be careful to investigate the many new start-up businesses in the Cannabis industry.  

A primary hub for the new Cannabis related start-up businesses are the Cannabis Business expos which are becoming more popular, more often and more places...major cities.  The expos offer an inside look of the fast growing Cannabis industry.  You can learn how to venture into the Cannabis industry in a number of different ways, improve existing methods with products, packaging, and obtain a wealth of knowledge through the workshops and seminars offered at the expos.

It is interesting to discover how many of the exhibitors of these start-ups at the expos are using tactics to assure instant success with their products by attaching a high profile name or celebrity status name to the product.  Many of these individuals are looking for investors to purchase licensing to sell or distribute the products with the celebrity name attached to it.   This can be a very expensive investment!

Purple Haze Properties has been one of the start-up companies in the Cannabis industry looking to make big bucks using the name and images of Jimmi Hendrix.  Purple Haze Properties has a great looking display and backdrop with delightful images of the not yet available products from Purple Haze Properties due to lack of start-up capitol.

 You have to wonder who are these types of start-ups looking to attract as investors or buyers of the licensing to sell the line of products with a celebrity name?  Is it the corporate world?  Because the licensing fees are too astronomical for individuals to purchase unless those individuals are of the same status quo financially.

There are many Cannabis Reform organizations fighting to make sure corporations don't try to monopolize the industry while destroying pioneers of the industry who have made this a way of living for years!

Tommy Chong, Bob Marley, Snoop Dogg, Jimmi Hendrix, Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, and Cheech Marin are primary names most start-ups are trying to attach their products or services offered to assure instant success in the Cannabis industry.  Although this is a smart tactic to approach for success, there are other ways to obtain  the same success by creating  great products and providing awesome services to the consumer with a strategic marketing plan!  Make your products and services commercial and attractive enough for the heavy hitters such as the Tommy Chong's & Snoop Dogg's  companies to want to contract your company to be apart of their empire!

Salute goes to Tommy Chong and Snoop Dogg for launching their Cannabis media sites and other aspects of their Cannabis industry products so the existing Cannabis businesses will become more visible by advertising mainstream with Cannabis related media companies instead of being in the closet!

The Cannabis industry is growing and changing rapidly...Don't MISS your opportunity to get in and fit in NOW!

Greek Theater to Re-Open After the Fire!

The Greek Theater is scheduled to re-open Friday, October 2, 2015 after the theater burned down to the ground leaving radiant burning ashes on Sunday, September 27th when the Catch A Fire Tour raged into Los Angeles, California.  The theater has some major reconstructive issues  since the superstar artists and musicians BURNT the 5,870 seat amphitheater down with a five hour and thirty minute reggae jam-rocking dynamite show for the nearly sold out reggae music lovers!

Headlining this explosive entertaining Catch A Fire Tour was Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and his brother, Stephen  "Ragga" Marley plus superstars, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage, newcomer Jo Mersa and introducing Skip Marley, Bob Marley's grandson and Cedella Marley's son.  

There were also other glimpses of young baby Marleys feeling the vibes displaying their dancing moves and rhythms of their native music and family legend spreading reggae music to the world.

The entire Catch A Fire show was CANNAMAZING!  Every performer, musician, background vocalists, DJ, dancers, and production crew were outstanding with an over whelming crowd appreciation yearning for MORE even after a five hour and thirty minute entertaining show!

Stephen 'Ragga" Marley displayed his veteran creativity and showmanship while always oozing his energy of spirit, love and unity to all connected with him both on stage and in the audience.  Stephen sang songs of his legendary father while accenting the show with some of his own melodies.  His young children were CANNAMAZING dancers on stage enjoying the pleasing energy from the crowd!

Stephen introduced his nephew, Skip Marley as a young lion ready to roar and soar!

Skip Marley, a tall slender, easy on the eyes looking young lion with beautiful healthy black coal dreadlocks performed one song with confidence and swagger.  Skip was definitely a crowd pleaser!  Reggae music lovers recognize the future is radiant, bright and talented with Skip Marley.

It was just after 9:00 p.m. when Damian "Jr. Gong"  Marley began his ninety minute non-stop, high energy jam rocking session delighting the crowd with his tall, lean build.  He wore a white hemp - like slim fitting shirt with blue jeans and tan moccasins.  His long beautiful dreadlocks nearly touching his ankles were tied back in a Rapunzel like ponytail.  The high energy Jr. Gong displayed for the ninety minute session was unbelievably appreciated by his fans and left the reggae lovers only dates to ponder when the next Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley tour will begin?

Although the entire Catch A Fire show was Cannamazing, there were a couple of memorable highlights for the audience to cherish.  One highlight of the show featured Stephen joining Damian on stage showing their brotherly LOVE, collaborations and production creativity performing a number of songs together.  

Another major highlight happened towards the show's conclusion Stephen invited all the artist on stage and they performed the Bob Marley tune, Could You Be Loved.

As long as LIFE new birth exists, the Marley legend will LIVE ON for eternity!  There are not too many infinite legendary families in our world, so it's very important to appreciate the generations of LOVE music being created, produced and shared by the Marley Family.

Well the nearly sold out crowd embraced the Catch A Fire show with over whelming joy and delight!  The next reggae explosion tour is already highly anticipated by these reggae lovers in attendance at this Nederlander Concert Series held at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, California.  Thumbs up, Nederlander!

The Greek Theater will re-open the doors on Friday, October 2, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. with another shoe stomping concert the Thievery Corporation with Cypress Hill.

Female Vocal Legends, Mavis Staples & Joan Osborne Perform at The Canyon

 

Mavis Staples & Joan Osborne
October 2, 2015

Grammy Award-winning legend Mavis Staples teams up with multi-platinum recording artist Joan Osborne on the highly anticipated national tour, "Solid Soul". 

From her early days with the iconic Staple Singers, when she was on top of the charts with songs like the 1972 #1 hit "I’ll Take You There", to her recent albums with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples has been a leader in American music for six decades. The "Solid Soul" tour marks her first tour collaboration with Joan Osborne, the widely celebrated singer-songwriter who dominated Top 40 radio with her hit song "One of Us" and whose albums have garnered seven Grammy nominations.

Mavis Staples will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the greatest gospel singers of all time. … From traditional gospel music to protest songs that underscored some of the decade's most dramatic social changes, to the self-empowerment anthems and soulful love tunes of more recent years, she proves to be a gospel legend." —The Current

“[Joan Osborne's] sweet yet husky voice is a wonderfully expressive instrument, bringing emotional honesty, a.k.a. soul, to every performance…Osborne’s compositional, arranging and vocal talents take the listener on a classy, beautiful realized music journey." —American Songwriter
