04:53 pm: Janis Joplin ranting at Woodstock
I had a man, he said, "Honey, honey, you know that I love you. See, but I gotta go find myself, you know. I gotta go find my life. I gotta go find myself over in Africa. Or over in New York City. Or over in Olema…" Some place those cats are always wandering off to, I never figured out exactly where it was, heh. They're always goin' somewhere, man.

And I said, "Baby, don't you realize? You're looking for your life over there, honey, well I know where your life is. Your life's waiting like a goddamn fool, right here. For you, man.

"And one morning you're gonna wake up in Casablanca, one of those fancy places, honey, you're gonna be freezing to death, man. You're gonna wake up and you'll say, 'Good lord. Good good lord. I just went off when I had that woman, and that great big huge double bed, and that great big fur rug on top of it, and those satin sheets, man. What am I doin' in Casablanca, man?' I mean really, man." One of these days that cat's gonna wake up and say that to themself.

And when he comes back home, there, just like the capricorn that I am, I'll be standing there waiting. Saying, "Baby, I knew one day, honey, I knew, knew, knew one day, that you'd finally come on home to me." Honey, when you walk through my front door, I'm going to be able to tell by the look in your eyes. I'll say, "Good God, the man finally done got it." Lord, that man finally done realize.

So you can put your head on my shoulder, baby, yeah, 'cause I know you've got some more tears to shed, dear, so come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on...
