Great song, beautiful tune, and the lyrics caused me 2 do some research. There was a radio station in the South that was allegedly either bombed or burned down for playing this song!  Janis had the insight to write this song at age 13!  I would give this song 5 stars except that the girl cops out at the end. However, the song played in 1965 or 1967, so the taboo of the times still has to be considered.  For the most part,  society's children are still "sticking to their own kind", and though  unspoken and a bit weaker, the social dating rules still exist.
