I wasn't trying to compare, there is no comparison. I had thought that 
Lightfoot had 'straightened out' the original lyrics used by Joplin. 
Didn't know about Kristoffersen having recorded it too.

Not familiar with that show, but it's the same story with acting greats. 
I just watched 'A man called Otto' in my agony to find anything worth my 
time (never mind my money) when I realized that besides class acting 
there were two things that made Tom Hanks: he never took on a bad movie, 
and he never pronounced a single word that I could not understand even 
when pissed out of my skull. Compared to today's litter sucking its 
teeth between mumbled nonsense THAT was acting. Hanks wasn't alone 
either, ever ask in a Kirk/Michael Douglas, Russel Crowe or Carry Grant 
movie "what did he say"?
