Woman’s shoe designer and Vegas headliner, Carlos Santana, has weighed in on marijuana legalization. From AP…

“Legalize marijuana and take all that money and invest it in teachers and in education, You will see a transformation in America.”

It’s a decision that’s “really way overdue, like the prohibition with the alcohol and stuff like that.”

“I really believe that as soon as we legalize and decriminalize marijuana we can actually afford a really good governor who won’t keep taking money away from education and from teachers and send him back to Hollywood where he can do ‘D’ movies and we can get an ‘A’ governor,”

You know, at first I didn’t like this Santana/Vegas Residency idea but, I got to say; if this is what it takes to keep Carlos quotes showing up in the news, I’m all for it.

When we last checked in, the “Wrinkle Rocker Says Whatever The Hell Comes To His Addled Brain/All Press Is Good Press” Standings, looked something like this…

1. Keef (In the interview, he also belittled Led Zeppelin’s December one-off reunion gig, telling Uncut: “They had one? Well, well done Jimmy (Page) and Robert (Plant). F**k off. Stairway To Heaven don’t make it for me, baby.”)

2. Gene Simmons (“That’s not a business model that works. I open a store and say ‘Come on in and pay whatever you want.’ Are you on fucking crack? Do you really believe that’s a business model that works?”)

3. Steve Miller (Rocker Steve Miller may have honed his craft in San Francisco during the late 1960s, but don’t lump him in with local bands from that time, especially the Grateful Dead.

“I couldn’t stand that band,” Miller said on Thursday, during a panel at a music industry symposium, recalling the Dead’s interminable jams and lengthy tuning breaks between songs.)

4. Sammy Hagar (“I heard that he got cleaned up again. Hopefully he stays that way and doesn’t die, because before we both die we have to be friends again.

“But like I said, people have to be level-headed and have to be healthy before you can settle a feud.”…)

5. David Coverdale (“Am I on board? You bet. Probably worth billions,”…”Unlike rolling out the wheelchairs with the umpteenth Rolling Stones world tour, a Led Zeppelin tour will be incredible.”)

…but, it looks like Carlos may be getting the hot hand.
