And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Best Songs Of Janis Joplin || Janis Joplin Collection. What a wonderful, raspy voice. We miss you, Janis
Watch her performance of Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop 1967. Cass Eliot is in the audience and is completely gobsmacked. Always liked Janis' blues...Summertime, Bye Bye Baby, Turtle Blues, etc.
Had a college roommate whose older brother had gone to a Joplin concert a few years before, he said she came out with a bottle of whiskey under each arm - apparently how she fine tuned her voice.
saw her at La Cave, University Circle, Cleveland- had no idea who she was and didn't get wise to having seen her until years later. I was in Junior High School. Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart at a teen club in Chesterland. Jimi opening for the Monkees/The Who for Herman's Hermits, Public Hall. The Who played a pal's Winter Dance in Scotch Plains, NJ. I got pics.
I met her when I was 14 years old. Just for a couple minutes in the place where the band would practice out in San Geronimo. Two years later, on my first date, I went to see her in San Francisco, I struggled my way through the crowd to get to the stage to give her a wire peace symbol I'd made for her that day in school. She reached down to take it from me and said, "Thank you, nines." She remembered me after two years. She was sweet and gracious and loving, and a monster good and strong performer. I'll love her forever. --nines
A genius, and a great singer. Her 'Summertime' is a pure joy. She did not know herself what a great artist she was. Her raw voice is that of her very soul. A great loss. . . She was too weak to bear up under the weight of fame.
My best pal & I drove down from Seattle to stay with our other friend close to the Wintergarden theater. What a show, 1966-67, Bezerkly? 3 day weekend, he drove the speed limit in his '66 Chevelle 396-375 Hp. When it was my turn at night foot to the..well 1/3 floor...We had to be back home for work... memories...++++++...
Must been chilly at her photo shoot.

Looks & sounds like a walking STD.
ReplyDeleteUgly, couldn't sing, heroin user who probably had bad breath too.
ReplyDeleteexplains skeevy Lennie Cohen's attraction to her.
DeleteNever my cup of tea...
ReplyDeleteShe is likely the best example of how the drugs of her era negatively impacted the senses of sight and sound.

ReplyDeleteAnother one who's like Namibia. There are diamonds but you have to shift a lot of shit to find them.
