Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headed for the trains, feeling nearly faded as my jeans… – which we all recognize as the famous opening to Me and Bobby McGee, much more famous because of the version that Janis Joplin did, but in fact it was written by Kris Kristofferson. Oddly enough, while Kris himself did have some short lived fame, his own musical career was probably eclipsed by his songs being performed by others. Read the rest of this entry »
