Then take it out if you want.  This is a very popular article that is attracting many vandals, several of whom have changed other stuff I put in it.  I told you three times that I watched this television segment.  I did not read a summary of it in a book or magazine.  I saw and heard it.  I remember what Janis' parents were wearing and what their eyeglass frames were like.  I did not tell the reader to go to the library in Baltimore.  I said there is a 16 millimeter film copy of it there, which doesn't mean it's the only library that has it.  It could be in a lot of libraries.  

Since you evidently never have been to the Baltimore library, then don't assume it has a ""card/computer entry.""  I checked out the reel of 16 millimeter film in 1984 after finding the title ""Janis Joplin"" in the film catalog.  I told the film clerk (it wasn't a librarian) that I wanted to check out that title, and he returned with it a few minutes later.  All he needed was the title.  I supplied the 16 millimeter projector, which I no longer own.  (Do YOU know anyone who owns one ?)  Several years later (1992), I heard a radio interview with Janis' sister Laura, promoting her book Love, Janis, in which a phone caller asked her if she recalled that 60 Minutes segment from shortly after Janis' death.  Laura corrected him, saying it came from a primitive NBC news magazine show titled ""First Tuesday.""  I will try to split up those footnotes, but I can't guarantee it.  This article is so popular that I could be 90 percent done with typing the changes and then the system tells me I am in an ""edit war.""  The next time that happens, I am going to give up and let people assume that Janis, like everyone else who used hard drugs in the late 1960s, was a lot like a ""Dragnet"" character, and her parents were that dumb, too.  I will stick with her music. You can make friends by talking about someone's music, but not by talking about First Tuesday.   dooyar"
