On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone. It's hard to be free but when it works, it' s worth it! Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. It's gonna be a long hard drag, but we'll make it. Well, to summarize, Big Brother is doing great and I just may be a "star" one day. You know, it's funny. As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is losing its meaning, But what ever it means I'm ready! -- Janis Joplin, in a letter to her mother, summer 1967 I'm one of those regular weird people. Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me. I'd trade all my tommorows for a single yesterday. Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got. People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
