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.
