A video to help out Mom

xiphiasMy mother was at Woodstock, but I'm pretty sure that she did many fewer drugs than most people while she was there. See, Mom -- almost all of your stories about Woodstock actually have some congruence with objective reality.
So -- given that you were at Woodstock, but probably significantly less baked out of your gourd than most people, it's possible that you were insufficiently stoned to actually understand what exactly Joe Cocker was signing when he performed "With a Little Help from my Friends."
Fortunately, though -- a helpful person transcribed it and put his transcription up on YouTube. I don't think I've posted this before -- I saw it a while back, but forgot about it until someone recently posted it on my f-list.
I hope you find this useful, Mom.

I appreciate the captioning, though. Those are terrific lyrics!
