For sure. Give me Zooey everyday of the week though. Perry may be better endowed, but that is all she has going for her.

Reminds me of Mad Magazine’s Holidays From Around the World.
Port Arthur, Texas: Janis Joplin Day: the ugliest woman in town dresses in feathers and drinks herself to death.

Actually I love Janis. The blues don’t get much better than that. I especially like her Pearl album.

Back in the day, my next hippie door neighbor “dated” her for awhile. Unfortunately, she was an out of control drug addled nymphomaniac even well before she achieved stardom.
It was said that she “took on” the entire offensive line of the Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson H.S. Yellow Jackets one night.
While the behavior of Johnny Winter (who I personally know)has always been Gentlemanly when home,she would routinely make a complete ass out of herself.

Amen brother, Amen. I have NEVER understood the interest in her period. Sounds like screeching animals.

Scarlett Johansson would be my pick.
But, that’s just me.

They also said that about Clara Bow and the USC offensive line, which included a young John Wayne.
I’ve no idea, but I know that rumor goes around about several different people, and it’s always the offensive line.
That said, Ms. Joplin was very screwed up mentally and nothing this side of Makenzie Phillips territory would surprise me.

Coulda been. But I think he was a little older.

I’ve got a 45-minute Dark Star, recorded when Pigpen was still alive, what a fantastic song and a fantastic version!
Almost as good as my favorite piece of music: the Fourth Movement of Beethoven’s 9th.
Man, I love hearing the Ode to Joy! I’ve heard it from Anchorage to Los Angeles to the Bay Area to Medford, and loved them all.
I’ve got a version conducted by Herbert von Karajan that suprasses anything heard on Earth.
See ya’,
Ed
