They laughed me out of class, out of town and out of the state. So I’m going home.
Janis Joplin
As heard on the Texas Standard. She also let it be known that she would have appreciated some support from fellow Texans (outside of Austin. Where we loved her) when she played at the Texas Woodstock.
Both of th0se segments were appended to this post from 2006. The quote from Dick Cavett is played in the Texas Standard segment from October 22nd, 2019.
I’ll probably take the time to listen to Janis’ discography back to back with Big Mama Thornton’s work just to get a feel for the two different approaches to the material. Music appreciation has been made possible again for me by Aftershokz bone conduction headphones.
