Sloth Outta Here...

 

As we were walking past the back of the Music Hall in Houston, someone stepped out of a doorway and asked if anyone wanted an empty Southern Comfort bottle of Janis's. No one was interested in lugging an empty whiskey bottle to the concert. I wish I had it now. The concert was awesome. Later a friend and I were hanging out in the parking lot thinking of what we wanted to do. There were only two cars left on the lot. Mine and a rather ragged looking station wagon parked beside it. I looked up and Janis and several other members of the Holding Co. were walking toward the other car. I wish I'd gotten out and told her how much I enjoyed her performance, but I didn't. They climbed into the station wagon and took off, with Janis driving. I assumed they were heading to Port Arthur.

She will always be top of my list.Met her at a bar-b-que given by Willie Nelson on his farm.I will never forget that,she lives in my heart today.I get tears when I
hear her on the radio,cant handle playing her at home,to painful.

 

I grew up in Redwoodcity and spent every weekend at the filmore auditoriom.That was truely a magical time.I was there till 1972 and went to Nam.Never realy made it back there in person or in heart.The war changed me for the worst but I am all better now.

 

It must have been wonderful to be a part of all of the life and revolution at that point in history. I love janis. Her music speaks to me as i was the one who was singing it. Its difficult tho...you feel as if you have been let down. As if the spirit of the sixities came and went and can not be restored. It feels strange, but i envy the times that you guys talk about. I want so badly to feel that spirit, and when i feel that i have come close, i am reminded that this world is very different. SF- i hope that you do Goodstock, because i would really like to experience something in the same vein of what you guys lived. I want to be there.
Maybe i am nieve to think the grass is greener. But i think that perhaps if we play our cards right, we could have another time where love and spirituality reign supreme.

Is it possible to create that caring loving open spirit again? I create it personally, but can it ever be similar to the 60s?

 

WOW!..Reading all of your word's takes me back in time, funny how it doesn't seem so long ago till you see it written on paper, what a wonderful life it's been ! I wish the kid's groing up now could experience all the innocent fun and wonder that our world had !
