At Janis' concert at Ravinia (Chicago), August 1970, a group called Male Groupies For Janis Joplin made an appearance. Had I not been tear gassed the prior week by Chicago's finest at a Sly and the Family attempted concert, I would have joined them. Of course I have forever regrettred not going to see Janis anyway; I told my best friend we'd see her "next time" since we were both still recovering from the tear gassing (and glad we escaped the billy clubs). Of course there never was a "next time." We did see Love, Janis in 1999 together as our closest thing we could do to "next time." (the Rev) Vince, who will always delurk for Janis Joplin
