* As a follow-up to a post I did a ways back, my dad is being released from the hospital next Tuesday, which is nine days early. He’s been working hard with his therapy since the stroke and he’s responding quite well. Good for him, and good for my mom, who has been under more than a little stress lately as well.
* I remember the day my dad brought home Janis Joplin’s Pearl album, shortly after the posthumous record was released. He played it over and over and over and I loved every minute of it. Wow, what an album that was.
Since Pearl was released after Joplin’s death, I didn’t realize that she had the chance to play any of the tracks live. But Janis was a guest on the Dick Cavett show two months before she died and the tape survives. So here’s My Baby…
And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no, no, no, no.
She did another song from Pearl on the Cavett show that day. It’s here.
