This Is Cool: Just Listen To Krauthammer, Kristol, Hume & Janis Joplin On Iraq Campaign Issue - With Video
I don’t know, maybe it was just the timing, or whatever. You know how it is…
Every now and then you’re sitting there, completely relaxed, in the right mood, and some band or singer comes on, plays a song live on VH1 Classic, or some other show, and you sit there enjoying every note, every word, just enjoying the whole song and at the very end you just go, “Wow…that was so cool.”
Try watching Janis Joplin sing Gershwin’s “Summertime” in the studio recording session sometime, and you’ll know what I mean. Hell, I’ll throw that video on the end here.
But Krauthammer, Kristol, & Hume were talking about the surge and the Iraq War as a campaign issue and this and that, and I just sat there thinking, “These guys are pretty sharp. They nailed this one down.”
Now, after you comment or whatever, just sit back a minute, turn up your speakers a little, and enjoy this video. It is the studio recording of Gershwin’s “Summertime”…the guy playing lead guitar is an old family friend named Sam Andrew, he was our neighbor when my folks were hippies in Marin County in the late 60’s/early 70’s, he’s great on the guitar here.
But just watch this lady sing…unreal. Heh, Krauthammer, Kristol, Hume & Joplin…yeah, baby.

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pmNice Joplin video for sure
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:32 pmWatched both videos.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:57 pmI must be the only one that thinks her voice is incredibly grating. I like the instrumentals though.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:05 pmI heard Bill Bennett dated her briefly. He never wants to talk about it.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:46 pmKrauthammer rocked . . .
I loved the guitar in the Janice video . . .
I don’t like Janice’s voice live - they have to clean it/her up before I can handle her singing. Sorry, Bash. Not a big Janice fan.
You rock, though.
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:04 pmTy - Just read your post - I agree. I thought I was being “brave” posting anti-Janice stuff, but I see you blazed the trail.
Bill Bennett and Janice - That would explain A LOT!
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:06 pmBTW, The old Big Brother and the Holding Company version on Cheap Thrills is my favorite song of all time.
And yes Krauthammer and Kristol are pretty good
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:20 pmAfter all this time, Joplin still can’t sing a lick.
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:21 pmHow in the fuck can you ‘oppose’ the surge after it already won the war?
Your friends are dead and you’re gonna die. Peace the old fashioned way. Works every time.
And Janis rocks. Here’s a shot of Jack to you JJ..
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:05 pmYou’ll be out of ‘office’ before/by 2010 … I’m hoping for your sake, because I do give you some measure of continued respect for your hand in the successes in Iraq, peacefully …
VERY nice Joplin cut … thanks.
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:18 pmGreat video of Krauthammer and Kristol but Janis sounds like a tuneless screech owl. Nice string work though.
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:08 pm“her voice is incredibly grating”, yeah !
though she has an “angel” face, pity she was on “drugs”
Ella Fitzgerald’s is quite charming
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 amKrauthammer (Dr. K) nails it everytime. He knows how to diagnose the BO insanity…
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:13 amBASH,
YOU ARE A FUCKING TREASURE.
