When I was a young surfer punk hanging around Huntington Beach, my friends and I went looking for food, like all young starving male teenage surfers do everywhere after a long "dusk patrol" surf session. We stumble upon the back door of a hamburger place and bar downtown. Sat down ,ordered food, and saw some band equipment on stage. I asked the waiter, "hey who's playin' ". I'll never forget what he said. " Oh, some really ugly chick and her band". They started playing, and yes he was right, she was ugly, with a voice like a cat scratched her throat. And that was our introduction to Janis Joplin!!!
