Somebody Tryin' To Hoodoo Me

"Stateline Dispensary" tells the story of a new Southern tradition. Most Southern states don't sell recreational cannibis, so the closest place to buy legally is in a state that does, like Illinois (though there are restrictions.) Let it be said that, as the writer of the song, I only know about this because I pray for the sinners who do it, and must be close to the sinners to properly minister to them (Matthew 12:14.) So, if anyone saw me there or any other sinful place, that's what I was doing. I'm sticking to that story.

LYRICS
(c)2025 Ggreg Snyder



[Verse:]
Took a trip with my buds two days ago
[Female voice:] He doesn't have a car
Sometimes you gotta take a trip with the bros
[Female voice:] It's really not that far

[Pre-chorus:] 
Sometimes you just gotta know where
and the folks round here are really square

[Chorus:]
Stateline Dispensary, It's got all that we need
Stateline Dispensary, we go for legal weed

[Verse:]
My buds all got something to smoke
[Female voice:] But only fifteen grams
For out-of-staters, it's harder to stoke
[Female voice:] But we don't give a damn

[Pre-chorus:] 
Can't get enough with one quick stop
So we just visit multiple shops

[Chorus:]
Stateline Dispensary, on a buying spree
Stateline Dispensary, we shop for t.h.c.

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-chorus:] 
The trip is just a shopping cheat
Drive it home, avoid the heat

[Chorus:]
Stateline Dispensary, my brother's looking glum
Stateline Dispensary, next time he can come 

[Outro:]
[Spoken:] Thank you, Metropolis!

Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Cave Singers) at The Hive in Vancouver, Oh Fortune carries collaborations from many esteemed improvisational and experimental musicians including Eyvind Kang (Beck, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, John Zorn), Jesse Zubot (Nels Cline, Mats Gustafsson), Gord Grdina (Gary Peacock, Paul Motian), Kenton Loewen (Mats Gustafsson, Jerry Granelli), JP Carter (Fond Of Tigers, Inhabitants) and Peggy Lee (Wayne Horvitz, Veda Hille).

Currents of mortality, isolation, and desperation run through the album, and yet its title comes from a reflection of a ticker-tape parade celebrating the return of Gertrude Ederle to the United States in 1926. For a heartbeat, she was the country’s biggest celebrity. She had just become the first woman to swim the English Channel, and simultaneously the new world-record holder (previously held by a man).

There exists in Oh Fortune this chaos of juxtaposition. It could be taken as a sad or dark album, yet musically it kicks with more ferocity and tenacity than people may expect from Mangan. It debates melancholy while it anticipates incredible moments of glory and victory. It’s not sad, it’s simply honest.
