Big Beat Steve Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Looking at this pic, maybe it really just is the WEED that's "all good"? :D Quote
John L Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Why does this make you think that Billie (or Pres) originated the phrase? Was it not in use before then? The way that the phrase is used sometimes used today puts the emphasis on all: it's all good. Billie seemed to be putting the stress on good, i.e. she was happy with everything that the band was doing, but just slipped herself. Edited May 23, 2007 by John L Quote
