Here's a video with an interesting story. We had just wrapped up a music festival in Eureka, California, and I had an idea to go film a music video at the coolest vintage clothing store - Redwood Retro. I called the store, who referred me to the owner, who texted the seller at the store, who agreed to stay late, who texted me and arranged for us to come in late at night and film this video.
If you've never heard the song, that's because it's new! We'll be playing this one, plus more new ones, plus some old favorites, at our show at Sebastopol Hopmonk on March 25 at 8 pm. We'll have a brand new album featuring this one and others like "The Ballad of the Onion Rings." Get your tickets at dirtycello.com
Janis Joplin's Wake
25 years ago, set out on the road.
Running from the law, all the way down to Mexico.
I got a past that would make a stripper blush,
but I never did no man wrong, 'for I had to run,
except for dancin’ dancin’ at Janis Joplin’s wake.
Revin' my old Ford,
drivin' down the road.
Got to go fast, or I'm gonna get too goddamn bored.
I got a cop trailin' me like a hound with a bone,
but I never did no man wrong, 'for I had to run,
except for dancin’ dancin’ at Janis Joplin’s wake.
Could be I’m a joke, could be I’ve been dumb.
But I’ve got a ways to go before I’m feeling done.
I got a man in the west and another in the east,
and I never did no man wrong, ‘fore I had to run,
except for dancin’ dancin’ at Janis Joplin’s wake.
Maybe I’ve got some miles, maybe I’ve got a tab,
when I’m rolling down the road at least it’s with some style.
I gotta slap some sense into me and you,
and I never did no man wrong, ‘fore I had to run,
except for dancin’, dancin’, at Janis Joplin’s wake.
Up on the table… lampshade on my head…I didn’t mean to.. Disrespect the dead.
And I never got in so much trouble, drinking fighting seeing double, at Janis Joplin’s wake.
