What does a poem about the Canadian gold rush and the song "Me and Bobby McGee" written by Kris Kristofferson (famously covered by Janis Joplin) have in common? The are both tales of journeys that we can learn a lot from. Self isolation, regret, carrying burdens, heartache, keeping our word, feeling good, and freedom... just to name a few. Things we all deal with on our journeys in this life.
In this episode we discuss the synchronicities that led to the creation of this #podcast episode, the story behind the song, the meaning of the lyrics and poem, lessons we can all take to make our life more fulfilled, with less regret and attachment, and the rest of the story about Janis Joplin's part.
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" is a line I have been making sense of for over twenty years, and now it means something different to me. So don't trade all of your tomorrows for one single yesterday, but let go and feel good in the present moment, peace, love, and well-being.
Cause feeling good is easy, when we sing the blues,
You know feeling good is good enough for me, you, and Bobby McGee.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
