Cheech & Chong Bury the Bong

You won't find them on any list of rock music acts, but Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were very much a part of the rock culture of the '70s and early '80s.

As Cheech & Chong they recorded nine comedy albums for which they received four GRAMMY nominations, and one win. Their shtick -- a pair of hapless dopers who somehow manage to get through life in spite of themselves -- also got them starring roles in eight movies.

They broke up in the mid-80's over what are usually referred to as "creative differences" and several previous attempts to reunite have ended just short of fist fights before they could ever get off the ground.

But now, Marin tells AP Radio, the two have decided to bury the hatchet (or, in their case, the bong) and take one last shot at reviving their patented brand of dope humor before they get too old to pull it off.

The "Hey, What's That Smell?" tour will hit two dozen cities between September and December.
