Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train...


For this I had to play a bit with a number of shots taken at Bochum main station (LOL).
Guess you know the song already. A classic from 1971, written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded by Janis Joplin, a few days before she died.
There are other versions, earlier ones too, but I think this is the one:


ME AND BOBBY MCGEE (1971)
JANIS JOPLIN



There´s no live video by Janis, but I found a beautiful performance by Sheryl Crow and Kris Kristofferson:

On of my all time favorite songs. I sing this in the shower after all these years. Super colorful photo, love the shadowy movement and tight framing. V

Nice work. I remember this from when I tried (and failed) to play the guitar all those years ago...

The performance by Sheryl Crow and Kris Kristofferson was lovely, but I found myself yearning for Janis's rough, throaty voice. The photo is dynamite ...... I LOVE how you create images like this. ~V~

Great candid of this woman. She's obviously tired and frustrated. Wonderfully done!

Yeah, guest this great song right. I suspect the red head is Bobbie. Nice colors, lines and motion Well done.
