June sings the blues

State superintendent-in-name-only June Atkinson sues Gov. Bev Perdue, and others, to regain her constitutional authority and quotes some blues-rock philosophy:

"What's the Janis Joplin song? Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

(Reported by the N&O.)

Belt it out, girl. Give us some of this from JJ's "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)":

Try yeah, try yeah, hey, hey, hey, try yeah,
Oh try whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Oh anybody, oh anybody, oh anybody,
Try oh yeah (just a little bit harder)
Whoa I gotta try some more,
I said try yeah, aw I said try,
I said try try try try try try,
Oh try oh yeah, try oh yeah!

Yeah. I always did like Janis Joplin.
