To me, the Smothers Brothers always seemed awfully square and dopey. But what the fuck do I know? I was born in 1980. To an older generation out there, from a time of Vietnam and John & Yoko bed-ins, the Smothers Brothers are not only funny folksters, but downright rebellious. That's why CBS canned them in 1969, before it was cool to get canned by a major network. Friday, the Smothers Brothers hit the Pantages.
