JANIS JOPLIN - ME AND BOBBY MCGHEE | Reaction & Lyrical Breakdown

- The soulful sounds of Janis Joplin is unmatched. She embodied the blues and gives us powerful imagery through her poetic song performances. In this video I listen, react, and do a lyrical breakdown of Janis Joplin's song "Me and Bobby McGhee"
This is part of my University of Music selection where I take the best songs and do a deep dive. I'm not a music guru whatsoever, this is just my way of showing appreciation of this art form; some music deserves more than just a "wham bam, thank you ma'm" reaction, ya know? These songs are a work of art and should be treated as such.

This is a song written by Kris Kristofferson. She died immediately after Recording Bobby McGee. When Kristoffersons agent played him Janices' recording, Kris wept. Country Artist, Roger Miller was the first to have a hit with this song. But, Janice took this song to a new level. Wow
I can't imagine this song being done any better than Janis did it. She completely killed it. Nobody else will ever be able to cover this song.
"Feelin nearly as faded as my jeans." "I would trade all my tomorrows for on single yesterday." Killer lyrics.
Loved your reaction, Tasha. Also, mention should be made of the great Kris Kristofferson, who wrote this song.
Love Kris he wrote some amazing songs
My favorite Janis Joplin song.
Use to see her driving her Pink Porsche with Flowers Painted on it in Berkeley all the time,saw her live at a free concert at Berkeley's Peoples Park with Big Brother and the Holding Company
I never got the impression Bobby died,I always thought he left in during the night,but I guess it could be interpreted that way, great reaction Tasha.
The truly great ones always die young! You had me dancing in my chair this morning...great reaction!
Hi Tasha! Wonderful reaction! A harpoon is slang for harmonica, or mouth harp. Rock was born out of the blues historically. Yes, big band, country, swing and even classical all played a part as well, but it’s all a mix of ingredients! Thank you for your insights!
One of the best songs ever!!! So glad you got to enjoy this Tasha!!!!
Great reaction Tasha. I have been waiting forever for you and T to react to another Joplin and just stumbled on your page. You will love any of her live performances on the Dick Cavett show. A good start would be her rendition of the Bee Gees classic "To Love Somebody" live in 1969 on Cavett 's show.
Yeah KRIS JRISTOFENS ALSO WROTE THE JONNY CASH SONG. SUNDAY MORNING COMMING DOWN. GREAT SONG
She was truly special!
This song was used in the movie Two Lane Blacktop but it was the Jerry Lee Lewis version.
She just kills it. Thanx Tasha
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks
Recorded in 1970. I was 4 years old.
I love your passion for music. You help rekindle my love of it. Pearl was our sweetheart. ♥
Thank you Randy!
Such an iconic song!
I love the way you see music! My kids think I’m crazy but I judge the people they date by the way they appreciate (or don’t appreciate) music! My youngest son is 21 and brought a date over for Sunday dinner last night and we sat and watched Stevie Nicks videos on TH-cam for a couple hours! She’s a keeper! She gave me some insight on some songs as well and so now, I love her!
TNT Is one of the best reactors to videos that I've come across. Great people and very enjoyable to watch
Bobby didn;t die, Tasha. Listen again. There's a line that goes, "He's serhing for tht home tht Ihope he finds."
This right here is my all time favorite song ever!!! Great reaction!!! I loved that you see it as poetry as well.
... enjoyed your reaction...you must listen to Pinks version oh me and bobby mcghee its point on.... she nailed it 100%
You might want to do Ball and Chain which is a blues song. Keep up the good work.
You mention, the University of Music, the lyrics of Kris Kristofferson is an entire course.
Janis' signing is much closer to the blues than 60's rock.
A harpoon is a Southern nickname for a harmonica playing the Blues.
God I love how you react! I love that you respect the music and look at the lyrics and break it all down, you not only show your intelligence but also you soul and humanity.
Love your channel ❤🙏🏼
Absolutely loved your take on this song, but with the importance of music and it foundation as well as it’s impact on all of us!! Beautifully stated and appreciated! Thanks Tasha and take care👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Queen ,nothing else to talk about
sorry, the women who made this vid too🤗
Great song!
After Joplin died, Kristofferson had the chance to hear her version of his song. It was painful for him.
“Unfortunately, the first time I heard Janis’s recording of ‘Bobby McGee’ was when I had just gone down because she had died,” Kristofferson recalled. “But, I remember the producer, he asked me to come by his office the next day. He had something he wanted to play me. I didn’t even know she cut it. And, uh, he played it for me and I had to leave the room. It was impossibly hard to hear. So much love and emotion going into the song and knowing that she wasn’t there to enjoy that. …
“I love it because of the passion and heart and soul that she put into everything she did. But, in that one, I can hear her saying, ‘Wait until this son of a b**** hears this. He’s gonna die.”

Hi Tasha, GREAT song and great reaction. As mentioned this song was written by songwriting great Kris Kristopher son and originally performed by country artist Roger Miller. So, I think this was originally a male perspective and ' Bobby' was probably a nick for Barbara. However, Janis' version became the definitive one. Have seen it covered many times over the years by ladies but not by to many men. I would call it a country/blues/boogie.
Hey Mike thank you. That reminds me, I need to look more into Kris Kristopherson. Thanks!
@@tashajackson Kris is one of the Highwaymen, along with Waylon, Willie, and Johnny Cash.
Great reaction, Tasha! I’ve never totally paid attention to the words or meaning of this song.
PINK, did a good "unplugged cover" just her and guy playing acoustic guitar...
Before he was a success, Kris Kristofferson was such a failure that his mother wrote him a letter disowning him ("don't contact us again") for his pursuing music. During that time, except for Bob Dylan he was the greatest songwriter lyricist of his time. This song plus Help Me Make It Throught The Night, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Come Sundown, To Beat the Devil, etc etc.
Another really good cover of one of Kris Kristofferson's songs is "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Willie Nelson which i prefer over other versions. Thanks a lot for covering and giving your insight on these classic country songs.
Johnny Cash had a huge hit with "SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN" and felt the song captured his life
Hey now that you have been introduced to a song that Kris Kristofferson wrote it would be nice if you actually did one of him singing one of his own songs. I would love to see one of him singing with his wife Rita Coolidge at the time, called help me make it through the night.. Plz and not a audio version only, you need to see the chemistry they had with each other and not just the song. They even though they are in front of a crowd sing like no one else is there.. It's so intimate and beautiful and no one else ever has done a reaction to it. Please be the first.
loving her was easier is one of the greatest songs of all time
listen to girl named Casi Joy singing this song, I think you would be impressed.
Kris Kristofferson wrote this song but Janis Joplin made it a hit and famous
She dedication this song to John Lennon for this birthday. When he got it & heard it she had passed away a few days prior.
Very poignant.
My favourite Kris Kristofferson song.
Her "harpoon" was a needle, and she was referring to shooting heroin
I am pretty sure harpoon was referring to a harmonica originally, however, with Janis singing it I certainly can understand your interpretation.
Beth Hart is the new Janis.
Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa
I'd rather go Blind.
This is a tame Beth but a great introduction to her vocals
