Today on my drive to work, which I must say is much more enjoyable since I vacuumed my car and bought a new air freshener, Janis Joplin came on the radio.
My favorite song, Me and Bobby Mcgee. I cranked it up as loud as it could go and sang my little heart out. I didn't care who saw me, it didn't matter that I don't know half the words in the first part of the song, it never occurred to me that I may be swerving slightly over the dotted lines and driving a little too fast. I was singing my favorite song. It seeped out of the speakers, dribbled down the dash and crawled all over me. I bobbed my head, I swayed my hips and I pounded my fist to the beat...that was all before my favorite verse. My all time favorite of all favorite parts of a song...
"La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.
La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, ain`t no bumb on my bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah"
This was all before 8 am. My day had been made. All by the one, the only, Janis Joplin.
