It is Janis Joplin and her 1964 hand-painted Porsche Cabriolet.

I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO envious that a class mate of mine got to go!  Since I was in high school at the time, of course my parents wouldn't let me; and I did beg.  My class mate that went was a guy.  My parents were great parents; I just didn't fully realize it at the time-lol.

Truth time.  I was never anything even close to a hippy.  I was in high school and college but was rather conservative and "preppy".  IN the 70's, I was a young wife and mother and then a young single mother.  No time for anything else!

However, in the spirit of complete honesty, one of my best friends from high school kidnapped Patty Hearst.  True story.

Nor was I: too young and too concerned about my education.

I was more a yuppie than a hippie, or perhaps a yippie.

Janice Joplin though. She was such a great singer - all those 27- year olds -  what is it with ultimate burn out at this age?

@Mary

Patty Hearst's kidnapper - coo-er! (as they say in Brit English). Last Sunday I had lunch with a couple I had never met. They casually let it drop that they had been quite close friends with a murderer.

My little sheltered life - of course murderers can have friends, even if, in grisly fashion, they topped their hubby or their hubby's lover - or both.

Makes one think . . .

@Nichola.  She actually came to our last high school reunion, which took a lot of courage.  She was exactly the same as she had been in high school.  I guess two prison terms taught her something.  She's also very successful, having taught herself programming while in solitary confinement for three years....

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppppppppppie---I like it!  I like it!  In the 70's I was in high school and college and was a hippie as much as I could be.  But, I was also concerned about my education so...
