Musician Cat Power narrated a modern version of Janis Joplin's evolution into a star. Much of the new material came from letters that Joplin wrote over the years to her friends, family and collaborators.<br /><br />In Feb and March 2016, Little Girl Blue will be showing to audiences across the globe.The Guardianhttp://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/feb/01/janis-joplin-little-girl-bluenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-65416695488093673552014-10-06T01:45:49.305+11:002014-10-06T01:45:49.305+11:00Parnassus

"The 14-coach private CNR train was a sort of rolling thunder revue crossing Canada with stops for concerts at several key cities. Onboard was the cream of the rock ānā roll scene at that point including Janis Joplin, The Band, Grateful Dead etc. As Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart explained, Woodstock was a treat for the audience but the train was a treat for the performers! One lounge car was for blues and rock and the other was country and folk. There were jam sessions nonstop."Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-80124462535830659642014-10-06T01:09:45.100+11:002014-10-06T01:09:45.100+11:00Hello Hels, I would love to see the film Festival...Hello Hels, I would love to see the film Festival Express. The train trip was a great idea. Nurturing the arts means sponsoring trips like this and (as you have discussed before) supportive artists' enclaves, as much as patronizing the 'end-product' concerts and exhibitions.<br />--JiimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-53425317880073161282014-10-04T23:41:17.144+10:002014-10-04T23:41:17.144+10:00Old Rocker

Apparently the Vancouver Council did not rescinded the permit for a proposed concert until the END of the train ride. "Festival Express Takes Off" said politicians at that time did not greet the prospect of large rock gatherings with a lot of enthusiasm. I imagine that was an understatement.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-78007600799140949712014-10-04T23:36:11.872+10:002014-10-04T23:36:11.872+10:00Train Man

In Australia I think the chances of long haired, drug and booze-soaked peacenik, beatnik types being allowed to travel freely across our wide brown land was remote.<br /><br />In 1969 and 1970, the police in Australia were still beating university students' heads over anti-Vietnam protest marches :(Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-23448353012799711912014-10-04T23:32:14.330+10:002014-10-04T23:32:14.330+10:00Andrew
