My best friend and I were about the only ones that liked Janis way back in Jr High School.
Now of course, just about every one likes her...if they want to be cool.

I would like to jump Billie's Bones. I tried to jump Janis Ian, but she was just too Sappho for me

Now I know where Shawn Colvin and Toni Childs draw their inspiration. Nice tune.

Actually her first big hit was "Society's Child" which was written while she was sitting on the bench in the Principal's Office of her High School waiting to be expelled.
Janis is one kewl lady.
Saw her live a twice. Love her. |

Janis Ian is the Bomb!! She hasn't put out a bad album in 10 years.
