all of us are qualified.

literally.

since anyone can serve on the SCOTUS then all are qualified to question her competence.

anyone can comment on national policy. are you familiar with the internet?

JANIS Joplin is a plus. at least he knows quality music. (deride him and misspell the name that's right in front of you?)

Mr. Janice Joplin T-shirt clerked with exactly who on the Supreme Court? With a law degree from where??? And that qualifies him to comment on the competence of Ms. Barrett? Not quite as funny as our current crop of comedians who think they're qualified to comment on national policy...

I truly pity people who have been raised with the outlook that he was in his youth, but it also makes me indescribably angry that so many live like that. I think the winning element here is that you can reach and change people through education. I wish the mantra of all future families was 'think first, believe later' (or something along those lines), because it's clear to me today that my parents and grandparents generations, and the current generations, though thankfully to a lesser extent, were raised on patriotism and faith, rather than reason and historical lessons.

Interesting that he quotes Janis Joplin ("Freedom is (sic) another word for 'nothing left to lose'").

FWIW, 27 is around the beginning of Saturn's Return

10. Pete Ham
9. Chris Bell
8. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
7. Amy Winehouse
6. Brian Jones
5. Janis Joplin
4. Robert Johnson
3. Jim Morrison
2. Kurt Cobain
1. Jimi Hendrix

Chris Farley, Elvis Presley, Tupac Shakur, The Beatles (they were all fucked up on various abuses, including physical), Michael Jackson, River Phoenix, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, John Belushi, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, Biggie Smalls, Gary Coleman...

I don't think Chris Farley is the prime example, but he's on the list.

But... that doesn't mean their works are any less for it. Getting famous for having talent brings reward, but it also blurs the lines and stunts maturity...

Most of these people didn't even make it to 30, or were so fucked up by the time they had hit this milestone, there was nothing they could do; they didn't have the necessary life lessons that guide us by constant evolution of being. Too many rewards and too much pressure with few threshold guardians to intercede. It's a gauntlet.

That was awesome!

Anyone got a list of the divas? Quick check on yt didn't help.

Who was the winking diva? Madonna, maybe?

A few I know she didn't do that I'd love to see her attempt:
Dolly Parton
Janis Joplin
Tina Turner

The well known tune they're playing is of course Scott Joplin's 1902 ragtime classic "The Entertainer".

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

No, I loved Johnny. His successor - not so much.>> ^PlayhousePals:

Great stuff. The world would be a better place if Dick Cavett replaced Johnny Carson.

Sigh, if only ... though Johnny had his moments =o)

Thank you so much for the promote! She was quite an interesting and tragic character. I was lucky enough to see her perform before her passing.

Their voices sound great together!


I was quite surprised by that ... so much better than I expected =o)

one of my favorite photos of her

Always had a crush on her, course the years are cruel, but back then oh my god she was wild, and loved to party.

There are some wild interviews on youtube where she goes into some details of partying with Janis and the lsd

Big props for technology, this is a much better visualization than old b/w pictures side by side back like we had back in the days.

And satellite aerial views?

I found these sliding before-and-after images from the L.A. Times and the N.Y. Times to be a chillingly effective use of technology to showcase the devastation caused by this disaster.
