#JANIS JOPLIN SONGS LIST DRIVER#

Don from Dayton, OhYes, there is a couple different meanings but after she says 'I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.' The next line is 'I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.' So that doesn't sound like she's talking about a hypodermic needle.

Kathy from North CarolinaI will always love Janis Joplin!!!.

'I went, 'With them windshield wipers slapping time and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song the driver knew.' And that was it.' The song's final defining image came to Kristofferson as he was driving in heavy rain to the airport for the flight home. And that was where 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose' came from, because he was free from her, and I guess he would have traded all his tomorrows for another day with her.'

That was 'Somewhere near Salinas, I let her slip away.' Later in the film he (Quinn) hears a woman hanging out her clothes, singing the melody she (Masina) used to play on the trombone, and she told him, 'Oh, she died.' So he goes out, gets drunk, gets into a fight in a bar and ends up on the beach, howling at the stars. At one point, like he did, he drove off and left her there. I had the rhythm of a Mickey Newbury song going in the back of my mind, 'Why You Been Gone So Long,' and I developed this story of these guys who went around the country kind of like Anthony Quinn and Giuletta Masina in (Fellini's) La Strada. 'I hid from Fred for a while but I was trying to write that song all the time I was flying around Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He said that he had a song title for the songwriter - 'Me And Bobby McKee.' Kristofferson recalled in Mojo magazine March 2008 that his label boss suggested: ''You could make this thing about them traveling around, the hook is that he turns out to be a she.'' The founder of Kristofferson's record label, Fred Foster, rang him just as the struggling musician was about to leave Nashville for his helicopter pilot sideline job.
