However, there is a degree of dubiety surrounding the historical accuracy of this answer. Specifically, the use of "doobie" as slang for a marijuana cigarette raises questions about the literal interpretation of the roadie's statement.

This term, "the Doobies," was a reference to the Doobie Brothers band, implying that they were somehow involved in the situation.
