Bought back some memories, having lived thru that period. And Janis Joplin......what a waste.

Thanks Bob, I knew the general meaning behind the song but there is a lot more to it when you see it like that.

Been trying to find a Joplin track that doesn't sound like she has had a truck load of drugs . I found it surprisingly difficult, although I remember how good she was, and she was.
