If you some enough time running an open mic night you’ll eventually encounter The Joplin Dilemna. A drunk, usually older woman staggers up to the stage and wants to know if you know Bobby McGee.

Of course you know but maybe you don’t want to indulge her so you think maybe you should just tell her you and the band don’t know it.

Don’t do that. It’s a trap becaus then she will abuse you with her spotty rendition of that a capella opus.

“Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?”…

It will be excruciating either way.

My solution is usually to play Bobby McGee so at least the band can play a bit and it won’t be a total disaster.

Sometimes I need a bathroom break though...
