I first thought you must be linking Janis Joplin so I was gonna say I
wouldn't call her a horse. But yeah, the greats are leaving and I hardly
ever turn the radio on any more.

 Her cover got a lot more airplay but I like to give credit where it's due.
Between his songs and films Kristofferson had quite a life.

I wasn't trying to compare, there is no comparison. I had thought that Lightfoot had 'straightened out' the original lyrics used by Joplin. Didn't know about Kristoffersen having recorded it too.

I talked to my ex yesterday and she told me Alice Brock of 'Alice's
Restaurant' died last week. Arlo isn't in great shape.

Not familiar with that show, but it's the same story with acting greats. I just watched 'A man called Otto' in my agony to find anything worth my time (never mind my money) when I realized that besides class acting there were two things that made Tom Hanks: he never took on a bad movie, and he never pronounced a single word that I could not understand even when pissed out of my skull. Compared to today's litter sucking its teeth between mumbled nonsense THAT was acting. Hanks wasn't alone either, ever ask in a Kirk/Michael Douglas, Russel Crowe or Carry Grant movie "what did he say"?
