NEW YORK (Reuters) – Janis Joplin may have famously pleaded for a Mercedes-Benz in her 1970 a cappella song but her car of choice was a psychedelic Porsche that now is going to be sold at auction.

I’d give it a new paint job just to piss off aging old hippies.
Quoting Clint : “Wanna know what’s a crime? Whoever defaced that work of art by painting it that color… ought to have his ass removed.”
Nah, that one looks good enough to me and Bobby McGee…
I’m having a flashback just looking at it.

You know what they say: “If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren’t really there.”

I want you to come on,
come on, come on,
come on and take it
Take another little
piece of my car now, baby
I was just a child in the sixties, so they seemed all right to me. And I think the car is nifty. I think the sixties were cooler than the seventies, which was just a sorry time, in every way, in my humble opinion.
Wait – I thought she axed the Lord for a Mercedes Benz? An a color tv. An a night on the town?
Wonder who she axed for the smack that killed her.
A woman I once worked with was her roommate at Lamar College in Beaumont, Texas. She said she was disgusting in every way possible.
Her friends all drove Porsche’s
Amen
One of the least enjoyable vocalists from the 60’s. I couldnt get into big brother and the holding co. or when she went solo. Then she died.
I bid 1 overdose of heroin
OOPS laced with LSD
Ingrates.
Did she buy that Porsche from Salvador Dali? That’s quite a surrealistic paint job.
Kris Kristofferson should buy it. I think he was boinking her around the time she O.D.’d (sharing her with some chick).
guys and girls …
Interesting that someone knew the real Janis Joplin and yet the media lionizes her. Another reason not to trust what is put out on the airwaves or the websites. Screw you Walter Cronkite!
If they de-skunked it it might be worth something.
Janis was a talentless fuck. Really. Listen to what she recorded. She is to music what planks on cement blocks are to decorating.
Looking at that make me want to stumble into Detox.
Yes she did. She howled like a banshee. I used to live down the street from her in Larkspur, CA. She was always drunk and her singing was like listening to a three-pronged garden rake on a chalkboard. I have no idea how anyone thinks she had any talent. She had ZERO. I know because I used to hear it all the time.
F THAT BASTARD
But don’t paint over the “General Lee”, right, Steven?
There’s just no accounting for popular taste, is there…?
Oops – this was supposed to be a reply to “Stranded in Sonoma”, above.
Sorry – my mistake.
🙁
I can believe that – Hippies usually are.
