It was long ago now, but I will never forget my date with Janis Joplin. It remains fresh in my memory, what little there is left of it anyway. You may not call it a date, but it qualifies as far as I am concerned. I didn’t ask her out, but we had a drink together, sort of, and I never saw her after that day, which has been the case after most of the dates I’ve had in my life; so to me it was a date.

I was sitting at the bar when she came in singing (1) “A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam.” Jokingly I replied (7) “Tutti frutti, oh rutti” which struck her as very funny and she laughed loudly.

I didn’t recognize her at first, but when I did I thought (2) “Bloody hell…I may faint, THAT’S JANIS JOPLIN!!” Luckily, I did not embarrass myself by fainting. She appeared to be high on something, but that was normal for her. I was sitting by the door and as she laughed at my musical reply to her song, she picked up my drink, said (5) “Ahhhhh…a whiskey sour…PERFECT,” and downed the whole in one gulp. Sitting next to me on the stool she seemed to be thinking about something, or maybe she was just trying to get her bearings. Anyway, I’m sitting there thinking (9) “Where is my damn camera? The boys are never going to believe this.”

She eventually asked me what my name was. She thought ghouly05 was a strange name, until I explained about my parents. When she asked what I did, I explained that I wasn’t currently working, I was trying to “find myself.” She got a good laugh out of that too. (3) Yeah…maybe I ought to become a bum. No job, no responsibilities…” she said. (I didn’t think I was a bum, but apparently she interpreted my current status that way. (10) I’m a sensitive and tightly strung person…AND I dig chicks from the south, which is probably why I didn’t say anything about her comment.)

I offered to buy her a drink. “What do you like?, I asked. (8) I’m a vegetarian; but I hear that vodka comes from a potato so I like my potatoes in liquid form.” She thought that was hilarious and I laughed along with her as the bartender brought her a bottle of vodka and gave me another whiskey sour.

(6) “Your last record, ‘Mercedes Benz,’ was fabulous” I said making small talk. She acknowledged that it was one of her favorites. She sat and talked for another 20 minutes or so. Nothing deep, she still seemed confused about where she was. Finally I asked her if she needed a ride anywhere. Hell no she said, my drivers waiting. I just needed a drink and the limo bar was exhausted. I told him to stop at the first bar he came to, which of course was here. After a short time, she decided it was time to leave. She had another shot of vodka and downed the rest of my second whiskey sour. Grabbing the bottle of vodka, she gave me a quick peck on the cheek and said “Hope you find yourself soon.” With that she made her exit.

I never did get a picture with her, and the guys never believed me, but I still have my memory of that day. As dates go, it was better than many and not as good as some. It’s still the only date I ever had with a rock star.

When I received the call, I was actually expecting my grandmother. She had just left my house after meeting the new dog, and left her camera sitting on the fireplace mantle. But instead of hearing her crackly voice asking <1> "Where is my damn camera???" I heard Little Richie from 94.1, 'the cat' Ipractically screaming in my ear. <2> "A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!!! BABY! Is this Karen Donalds? Tell me this is Karen Donalds BABY!" I was suddenly reminded why I never listened to his show..........unless......I was trying to win Chris Daughtry tickets......
<3>"Bloody hell......I may faint....." I muttered into the receiver, suddenly realizing why Little Richie would ever in a million years be calling me.
"Oh no BABY don't faint. I GOT to give you these tickets! And I GOT to tell you that there's a special suprize involved as WELL!" Although my right eardrum was now bleeding, I was dying to know that he ws about to say. Was I screaming?> I can't remember.
"What? What is it? <4> A.....a...a..stretch limo?"
"Oh, yeaaaaaah baby! AND it's gonna be taking you to a candlelit dinner with Chris!"
I gasped.
"BUT WHAT WILL I WEAR?!?!"
and then I did indeed faint.

The dinner was in fact, candlelit. But that was where the romance ended. The place was actually a dive that 'the cat' advertised all of the time and held all of their parties. My limo arrived 5 minutes late. I looked at the various ruffians hanging around outside andI found myself afraid for Chris's safety as if we had already fallen in love. He was waiting at the table for me and smiling. He got up and pulled out my chair. "I ordered us drinks. I hope that's ok. You don't have anything you just can't drink, right?"
GOD SO CUTE!
I thought of my wittiest line about drinks. <5>"I'm a vegetarian; but i hear vodka comes from a potato" TOUCHDOWN! I made Chris Daughtry laugh. I wanted to whip out my cellphone and call my girlfriends right away.
"I got you a whiskey sour. That cool?"
<6>"Ahhh...A whiskey sour....PERFECT" I had hesitated because I knew if i drank any whiskey in the presence of Chris Daughtry, I would surely attack him with my face. I would just sip lightly, I decided.
"So I guess you were forced to meet little richie?" I couldn't think of any small talk other than that. Kate! You are such a loser!
"Ohhh yeah. <7>'Tutti frutti, oh rutti' and all that crap." He made quotation marks with his fingers. For some reason this made me want to carry his child. "He was all in my face saying things like <8>*"Your last record "Daughtry", was fabulous!"
"Noooo! He didn't even know that that was your first record! I mean, you've only had two! I mean, not that that's something to be ashamed of. I mean, you're very accomplished. Very. You could quit today and be set!" Ohhhh my God I was babbling like a maniac.
"<9>Yeah....maybe I ought to become a bum, No job, no responsibilities...." I was so, i don't know, flustered? I couldn't tell if this had been a joke or a sarcastic response to my idiotic groveling.....I HAD to keep talking. I couldn't keep it in. And plus, maybe I could redeem myself?
"Sooooooo.....I'll bet you've guessed I'm a big fan and know lots about you and I'm sure you hear that all of the time. So I'll fill you in a little about me...I'm a southern girl- born and raised. I love rock music which is why i sort of obsessed over your season of american idol.......The first rock star on the show that I thought was truly a great musician. Anyway I am living here in Memphis right now but I want to move around and travel when I can afford it. See the world and all that. Ummmm I'm so nervous I can't think of anything!" I stopped myself and took a deep breath. He laughed at me. It was a cute laugh not a condescending laugh. "So.." I managed to squeak out "Tell me something I probably don't know about you"
"Well what most people don't know is that <10> I'm a sensitive and highly sturng person" and then he reached out and gave my hand a light squeeze.."....And I dig chicks from the south".

That was when I fainted again...

I had JUST come from the "Super Duper Fat Flush Fortnight" at Ann Wigmore's Health Institute in Puerto Rico and I felt phenomenally good!
My new found svelte figure along with my renewed vim and vigor had given me a WHOLE new lease on life!
I felt so light and fresh and free, that I wanted to SING... and sing I did!!
"A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam , Tutti frutti, oh rutti"
As I sang I started to hyperventilate!! My brain was NOT used to all of this extra oxygen!
"Bloody hell...... I may faint!!" I said to my best friend Minna, who had taken me out for a welcome home lunch.
I Had been alcohol free for the two WHOLE weeks at the institute and could use a stiff one!!
Drink that is!! Minna took the liberty of ordering for me.
"Ahhhhh......A whiskey sour.....PERFECT" I said as I practically inhaled it along with the little umbrella!!
I had wanted to get in shape mainly because I had won a date with my favorite singing star Arlo Guthrie!!
I bid Minna farewell and went to meet Arlo at Alice's Restaurant on 33rd and Third!!
I was looking around for the hippie stud with the curly golden brown curls when an elderly gentlemen with gray hair tapped me on my shoulder.
"Silva?" he asked
I was flabbergasted..and NOT in a good way!! WHO was this OLD FART, I thought, knowing the answer already!!
We sat in a cozy booth and discussed music and our lives and everything else in between!!
Where is my damn camera? I fumed, as I rummaged through my purse! Minna was NOT going to believe this without pictures!
After the initial shock (WE WERE BOTH OLD!!), we actually got along quite well!! He asked we what I would like to eat.
"I am a vegetarian actually" I said, "But ..I hear that vodka comes from a potato...I'll have a double shot of Absolute on the rocks" This he understood!!
The rest of the night went VERY well..I found out that you REALLY can get ANYTHING you want at Alice's Restaurant!!

“Tutti frutti, oh rutti…...A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam…woooooooo”
As the last guitar chord faded the crowd went wild. The sound of stomping of fee, applause and wooping filled the stadium air. “Gee you Baby Boomers can make a noise” said my 25 year old companion “Now THAT was entertainment” I said feeling exhausted by the fabulous music of my youth that had travelled round in my system during the incredible last 2 hours. “ He sure can Boogie Woogie” “LOL said my friend”

The lady with the blue rinsed hair sitting 1 row forward suddenly said “Bloody hell...... I may faint.” People around her responded quickly to make sure she recovered from that dizzy spell. Little Richard brings that out in some people.

My young friend and I stayed behind to pick up some momentos from the merchandising stand. A short time later from behind a half-opened door near the rear entrance HE appeared. “It’s HIM!” I said to my companion “I cannot believe this – where is my damn camera?” My friend who is more into cars than people, exclaimed
“A...a....a....stretch limo?? Oh, yeaaaaaah, baby.”
I raced up to the car with the concert programme in my hand. The Great Man smiled that 50 megawatt smile of his and placed his bejewelled hand in mine. I managed to blurt out “Your last record "I remember Woooo” was fabulous" “Thank you doll” said star as he climbed into the vehicle and was quickly driven away.

“He touched me, he spoke to me” I stammered and promptly feinted.

I opened my eyes to the muted light of the bar and Little Richard playing on the juke box….”Earth to Space ship 1 come in Space ship 1” I heard the muted voice of my young friend who I could just make out to see him offering me a drink…..”here take this” he said “Ahhhhh......A whiskey sour.....PERFECT. I sure need this after my brush with fame” My friend simply chuckled. “Ah wicked!” he flickered his eyebrows in amusement.
