Janis

entry picture

(the song is Turtle Blues)

 

You’re welcome to take Timberlake

And that Britney Spears

I’ll send you Lady Gaga too

(Sweet nectar for your ears!)

I’ll trade you all this minstrelsy

To populate your Palace

But please, Sweet Jesus, send us back

The angel that was Janis.

Ha - only just seen this John. Janis is incredibly important to me. She totally got me through being 15 and 16 - still can't listen to Little Girl Blue without being transported back to my achingly lonely teenage bedroom.

Don't suppose you went to the Summer of Love exhibition at the Liverpool Tate a few years back did you? I was browsing around, and then saw this Porsche...looked at the notice...and it was her's! I seriously just welled right up there and then - couldn't stop looking inside, imagining her sat there, driving round.

I like the sentiments, John, though there can't have been many who've referred to her as an angel.
