White Owl - in Popular Culture

In Popular Culture

  • "White Owl" is a Russian folk-core group, created in Moscow, who play music of different nations adapted in various styles. Since the tastes of the musicians don't belong to the same genre their arrangements are mixtures of such traditions as alternative, indie, solid rock, folk tradition and even renaissance. This band is not to be confused with the Canadian group called White Owl, whose shoegazing, drone heavy psych-rock is believed to be "enhanced" by moderate intake of the above mentioned "blunts".
  • In the 1999 film Blast from the Past, Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) hands down his prized baseball cards to his son Adam (Brendan Fraser) in a "White Owl" cigar box.
  • In the song "Git Up Git Out" by Outkast, the lyrics include, "Our white owls are burnin' kind of slow."
  • "Spark Another Owl" by Cypress Hill off their album Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom
  • The Vicious Fishes, a band from Feasterville, PA., named one of their jams "Peach White Owl"
  • "40 and a Blunt" by Das Efx, lyrics includes "We're only smoking Phillies, White Owls and Optimos". This song is a 90s hip hop track which refers to drinking 40oz malt liquor and smoking blunts.
  • In the song "M.E.T.H.O.D MAN" by Method Man the lyrics include "I got fat bags of skunk, I got white owl blunts, and I'm about to go get lifted"

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:

    “The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
    —Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)

    “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first—rock and roll or Christianity.”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)

    “Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
