    Just say she was someone
    So far from home
    Whose life was so lonesome
    She died all alone

    Who dreamed pretty dreams
    That never came true
    Lord, why was she born
    So black and blue?

    -Kris Kristofferson

    P.S. Janis and Kris did know each other...

    Cohen eventually said he was sorry for naming Janis (in his rather sordid lyrics). I think Kris had a much deeper relationship with her. And his lyrics are proof of that. Plus Kris is a silver tongued devil: He'd never come right out and name a person he slept with in one of his songs. He's actually a very classy dude. ;)

    P.S. What are the lyrics like in Chelsea Hotel #1?
