Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge? Waiting for a train? Looking for that home? Well you’ve found it with this episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST. Join your hosts as they review the 1971 classic, “Me and Bobby McGee” written by SSP patron saint, Kris Kristofferson, and performed by rock legend, Janis Joplin. In this episode, we’ll thumb our way across the country in the least logical direction possible to discuss the long history of road trip snacks, new definitions of rock bottom, and trucking singalongs. So pull your harpoon out of a hopefully not-too-dirty bandana and play along! Because freedom’s just another word for this episode of THE STORY SONG PODCAST. It’ll make you feel good, and feeling good is good enough for us.  Continue the conversation; follow THE STORY SONG PODCAST on social media.
