“ i do. A lot of people enjoy Janis. Shes classic. Personally I think you're a bit rude mason.adam. Her music is great and i admire her. My dad grew up outside the bay area of San Francisco and he and his sister remember all the haight-ashbury hippie-dippie flower-child-pothead people. they used to walk to Golden Gate Park and listen to Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead for free. Sure when Janis came around he didn't listen to her very much but he remembers her fondly. So would you kindly fuck off? It would be very nice of you and i think you owe it to Janis to keep your opinions to yourself since you have nothing nice to say. ”
