Ain't gonna run my world

Not now or any other time.

It netted him lots of early bad reviews in Playboy Mag.

All that Googling I did when I could've just gone to Pg. 3 of THIS interaction...

You guys were just testing to see if I read the whole thing, right? :wink:

OK here's my question (it veers a bit off of strict musical trivia; hope that's OK...)

Janis Joplin was born in a relatively small blue-collar town not far from where I was; almost all of you can find that out the name of that town pretty easily.

What was the name of the high school she attended there?

Bonus points if you can name a few of her classmates: a former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and a radio DJ with a just-released record who unfortunately chose to catch a ride on Buddy Holly's airplane on the wrong wintry evening.

P.S. She didn't graduate; she dropped out and took off for the Haight. At some point she had a blind date with a former Reagan Cabinet official who is still prominent on the talking-heads circuit today. An honorary "expert" designation awaits if you know the answer.

Hi PDiddie --

DJ: Jiles P. Richardson, known as The Big Bopper, recorded "Chantilly Lace"
