I was really into Janis in high school and college.  You would not believe
the looks I got for that.  I used to enjoy riding up and down main street
blaring her from my van, I had one of those goodtimes vans, to make them
listen to her.  Thought maybe someone would "get it"  Never did work.  The
majority of them were into Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.  Hey, I love
the Bee Gees.  Never embarrassed about that.  How could anyone not is where
I am coming from?  We used to ride in the speech instructors van to speech
tournaments.  John Denver was a major favorite of that crowd.  I loathed
him.  Could not understand what the attraction was and I didn't care for his
image, which at the time was goody goody two shoes.  I thought if I had to
listen to Rocky Mountain High one more time I would vomit.  Now, years
later, I can see just what made him so special and when i hear Annie's song
or Calypso, it takes me away.    I was so stupid then.
