Though it hasn't got much to do with racing or cars in general, spare a moment to think of the late great Janis Joplin, who would have been 70 years old (!) yesterday, January 19.
"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz."
