The video for ‘Huffin Muggles’ was done with some of my friends in the local drag community of Eugene, Oregon. Huffin Muggles is a ’30s/’40s term for pot. The song is essentially an ear to the door to a humorous conversation which a more culturally experienced urban male is holding court with a small group of his younger acolytes while enjoying the reefer. The theme is innocence and experience, and that is why there is an oblique reference to William Blake’s ‘Songs of Innocence and Experience’ in the lyric. Horrible that there are people out there that wish to deny other people basic human rights, and I am an ardent supporter of LGBT rights. The video style was an homage to filmmaker author Kenneth Anger.
