“Janis is white girl screeching, trying to sound black and failing.”
Janis in pretending nothing. She is just Janis.
BTTT
“The junkie. Really? Geez, it must be nice to live a perfect life with no vices and no sins.”
Miller was no Saint. Joined the military to avoid jail. Alcoholic, druggie and tobacco addict. Dead at 56.
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
Janis poured every fiber of her body and soul into her songs, i’m not sure,..was it a quart of Jack Daniels, heroin or a combo? Lot’s of early deaths in those 60’s rockers....long before fentanyl,
East Texas piney woods...everyone sounds alike...didn’t have to try.
I mean if he had actually stolen a military helicopter (and he did know how to fly them), he’d have gone to the brig, or something.

If Kriss had no prior chopper flying experience, there is no way in hell he stole one of those whirly birds and survived. It’s many times more difficult to fly than a fixed wing craft. The story makes it seem like he toke a joy ride in a stolen car. I agree that his “Sunday Morning Comin’ Down” is a great musical story.
Thanks. I have the Cheap Thrills CD.
No, I have my own sins and vices, of course. Not seeing in my comments any proclamation that I “live a perfect life.’
But I am pretty sure that the record shows Joplin was an addict, and that is how she died, right?
You are certainly entitled to your opinion about her singing, and I am entitled to mine.
Your opinion. We are allowed to have differing tastes.
“Janis in pretending nothing. She is just Janis.”
Her singing resembled a kitten being strangled slowly to death. Her band wasn’t any better.

You put up Roger Miller but neglected to mention he was an alcoholic, druggie and died early due to his vices.
I was impressed I knew this, until I saw FR keyword everybodyknowsthis.
I would argue that the “greatest single work of art” that Kristofferson left behind was “Why Me, Lord.”

I liked his rendition of the song. The details of his life are not in my knowledge base. Pretty sure I was not making any sort of comparison of vices.
Joplin’s death was headline news, so I am aware of how she passed.
Again, you are free to like Joplin’s style, and I am free to dislike it.
“The details of his life are not in my knowledge base. Pretty sure I was not making any sort of comparison of vices.”
Sure you were ...
“The junkie did not.”
Why be so mean? She had the #1 with it.
