Jesus Marijuana/ Gutter Rat man (O.D.) Both versions of Gutter Rat Man is the same, just that one side is 33-1/3 rpm and the other is 45 rpm.
-Jesus Marijuna is a mid-tempo garage flower power rocker from Vancouver's golden age of DIY recordings and is very supportive of marijuana use including Jesus' endorsement in a dream, very irreverent lyrics and easily understood why it got nada in local radio play with lyrics such as "Jesus grows his own and getting high was not a sin, but quite alright".    

-Gutter Rat Man is a faster-tempo garage-psych flower power with gritty vocals, driving bass, drums, guitar with a hot guitar solo from Sheldon Kantrow and is about a guy who is in a band but can't seem to stay out of trouble with the law and spends time in jail.
Orville Dorp was a group with an oddball sense of humour, very drug related, very irreverant, a curious mix of drugs and religion. Their record label is O.D. with no record number. Most Vancouver radio stations would not present drug related material so the record was never air played. The group had to place an advertisement in the "High Times" (the dope magazine) in order to sell the single outside of Vancouver. Tom Lavin wrote and sang Gutter Rat Man and Smilin' Jack Smith wrote and sang Jesus Marijuana. Glen Hendrickson is on drums-formerly with The United Empire Loyalists, Al Jacobs on piano and vocals, Sheldon Kantrow on guitar.

​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”
