Pink is out as Janis Joplin

I want more Pink. I really dig Pink's sound, and I wish she had a big, fun hit on the radio right now. I just read that she had been working on a Janis Joplin movie, but due to scheduling conflicts (that's what they all say), she has been replaced with Zooey Deschanel. I don't even know who that is. I'm sure Zooey is great, but I doubt if she'll rock as much as Pink rocks.

I see Pink once a week doing the intro to Sunday Night Football on NBC and that makes me happy, but it doesn't really give me enough of a Pink fix. I do love that she's part of my football obsession though.

There is another Janis Joplin movie in the works at the same time, which I really don't get. We've gone all this time without a big Janis blockbuster, and suddenly there are two. That said, I'm sure I'll make it a point to watch both. We named our band in Austin after Janis' alter-ego, Pearl and I've always felt some strange connection with her. (We were Shades of Pearl, but we sounded nothing like Janis, unfortunately.) Maybe I've always wanted to feel a connection with Janis because she was seemingly able to let go so easily, and I have a heap of trouble doing that. But I digress. Why don't they cast Melissa Etheridge in these movies? Is that too obvious after she nailed A Piece of My Heart on the Grammys a couple of years ago? Tammy has twins on the way anyway, so she probably has other things to worry about.

Back to Googling Pink. Hey, now there's a band name...
