Thanks, Abel! Too bad, Buk's Janis Joplin tribute was never printed. I would've liked to read it.

Yeah, I've been down that road a few times

"I related to her. She had the courage of a mountain, understand?"

No, I don't understand her courage. I'm glad he was so wise to destroy the Joplin tribute.
And I'm glad he didn't destroy the Wantling tribute.

I wasn't a fan of Joplin, but would've loved to read his tribute anyway. Maybe I'd be a fan of hers afterwards.

Two decades ago I read "Pearl" and she seemed to be a whiner,
and not someone with moxie . . .

"Cheap Thrills" is a good album.

Your reply sucks! :)

It's the drugs, probably H.

You never know the biographers are lying,
but it's easier to believe them.

being voted "ugliest man on campus" might have had something to do with it...:DD

I take my no moxie statement back because
someone made me an offer I can't refuse.
