"One Toke Over The Line" became a Top 10 hit in 1971, and was largely responsible for introducing Brewer & Shipley to the masses.  While the record buying public was casting its vote of approval by buying the single, the Vice President of the United States, Spiro Agnew, declared Brewer & Shipley as subversives, and then strong-armed the FCC to ban "One Toke" from the airwaves just as it was peaking on the charts.  It landed Brewer & Shipley on Nixon's Enemies List, a badge of honor they wear proudly to this day.  Even in the midst of all the fuss about the drug related lyrics, the Lawrence Welk show featured  "One Toke Over The Line" in 1971.  Check out these crazy but true stories and the video of the legendary Lawrence Welk show featuring “One Toke”.  As Brewer & Shipley like to say, you couldn't make this stuff up.
