Hace unos 20 años mas o menos, mi hermano, sabiendo que soy fan incondicional de Janis, me regaló esta caja maravillosa con los cds de Janis Joplin.
Es tan mágica que cuando me estreso la abro, elijo sin mirar, subo el volumen y a volar, el relax es máximo.
Como era poco colorida la caja le metí esas luces de colores que tanto me gustan y que hoy, por sorpresa y sin venir a cuento, que es cuando mas prestan las cosas, me regaló una amiga jajajajaa
Tenia que hacerles foto ;D
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.
Like Janis said
E allora prendilo, prendi un altro piccolo pezzo del mio cuore, dolcezza.
[Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!]

Another oldie. Detail. FZ was alive when I did this, many moons ago.
Pop, as in Monterey Pop, as opposed to the "king of pop".
The aficionados will have understood.
Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart
Lacking inspiration for your 365 project? Join We're Here!
Me & Bobby McGee
by Janis Joplin
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.
One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.
La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, ain`t no bumb on my bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.
Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
C'mon, hey now Bobby yeah, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
Yeah! Whew!
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.
But each time I tell myself that I
well I can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms
I'll sing it once again
I'll say come on
come on
come on
come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually, it's a corroded bolt that once held a cannon at Fort Point that protected the gates of San Francisco Bay from a nautical attack...
Probably fully rusted away by now...
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

That is NOT a typo folks!
In 1957, if you wanted to buy a Mercedes Benz in the USA, you had to go to a Studebaker-Packard dealership to get one.
By the time Janis Joplin asked the Lord to buy her one, many Studebaker dealers had become Mercedes Benz dealers.
She never told us about that part. She also never told us, she had a Porsche painted in psychedelic colors. Did she ever really need the Lord to buy her a Mercedes Benz?

for nothing left to lose...
Before you decide in your mind that it isn't, it is. :)
Yeah, it really is Janis Joplin.
She actually looks fairly attractive here, which, she was not known for being.
This is a very good likeness to that particular photograph, believe that or not. :) (The soft rose color may may enhance her femininity, it seems to)
I remember that when I saw the photograph that I used for reference that it didn't look like the Janis that I know.
Unfortunately I no longer have that (printed image) photograph to show.
Recently I looked all over Google Images for this image, I never found it, but, I did find some that were very similar.
So, there are photographs of her being nice looking, especially before she got famous, I saw videos of her and she didn't look that 'rough', if you know what I mean.
So, from what I saw while searching, she was more than likely about 20 when this was taken.
Anyway, done in pencil from a small picture that I found in a T.V. guide.
Here's a picture of her when she still looked 'pretty good'.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
