OK so you are the one that brought up Janis Joplin. It's a Kris Kristofferson song, first recorded by Roger Miller(as far as I know) Janis just covered it. So there.
not enough money to go to dinner.

can you believe I can't think of a damn phrase to end that line???
Posted by: Dawn (webmiztris) | March 21, 2005 at 06:12 PM
Yes Tommy you are correct:
words and music by Kris Kristofferson
first popularized by Roger Miller in 1969 (#12 Country hit)
Janis Joplin recorded it on the 1971 album "Pearl"
So, yes Tommy you are correct. However, to ME it will always be a Janis Joplin song.
So, my turn:
Freedom is another word for being able to write whatever I want on my blog.

Life when I had a credit card with a nice big limit!
(I've since taken the card away from myself and cut it up...)
Posted by: Zee | March 21, 2005 at 06:41 PM
Having no limits, real or imagined.
(I love both Janis and Kris. You inspired me to dig out my MP3 of the song and sing out loud!)

plastic money and convenience on every corner!
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!
Posted by: Keeme | March 21, 2005 at 07:11 PM
Yes, but I think Janis is the one that really made it a HIT. The Grateful Dead did a cover of it, also.
I guess I should finish the sentence though.
Freedom's just another word for...the good old U.S.A.

No husband, no kids, living with mom & dad with a 100% disposable income.

Rory's Definition of "Reading Hiatus":
When you don't have time to read a book because:
(a) there's too much work
(b) you get home too tired to pay any book enough respect to read it for more than a minute
(c) there's a new boyfriend who's hungry for your affection
(d) all of the above
