 In 1997, writing partners Kevin Murphy (VI) (qv) and  Dan Studney (qv), who had met while studying at Drew University in  Madison, New Jersey, were driving from Oakland to Los Angeles and  listening to Frank Zappa (qv)s "Joes Garage", when they heard a  line about Catholic school girls smoking reefer behind the rectory.  "So I started picturing it in my head," Studney recalls. "Frank  Zappas concept of a musical and then it just hit me. I turned to  Kevin and said What about doing Reefer Madness as a musical?" By  the time the creative duo reached Los Angeles, they had already  written the first song.
