This statement could be right from my shelve! When reading it from another person, I realize how ugly and hurtful it is to say such things! And no, Janis was not ugly at all! |

WTF dood, and that has what to do with the price of tea?? I am always surprised by the base instincts of a sexist.
Janis is a real woman with the heart of a little girl. She sang her guts out, just to please her audience and held a whole lot of grief inside. She was a marvel and a freakin' amazing artist.
This song is amazing.

No so at all. I knew her and she was beautiful inside and out and carried a burden of sorrow which weighed down her every step. |

Um....Janis was hot. Especially when she was onstage singing. Haven't heard this one for awhile and I have the album...

When Ms. Joplin was in college at The University of Texas, she was voted 'Ugliest Man on Campus'. Needless to say she didn't have a lot of nice things to say about Texas. I used to own Kenneth Threadgill's house: Mr. Threadgill owned a restaurant/bar where Janis often played, and apparently she spent quite a lot of time at the Threadgill home (along with all manner of musicians and ne'er do wells). |

I got to see her at the Pasadena Civic for $1.25 with other bands, she kinda stays with you.

Cynaera wrote:This is Janis at her vocal best - before she fried her pipes with Southern Comfort and drugs. She hits the notes without screaming (unless she chooses to scream intentionally for effect) and she has an intimate groove with her band. One of the few songs I've heard by her that I can tolerate. Precisely. This is one of a relative handful of her songs in which her genuine singing ability comes through. There are some live performances that demonstrate how good she could be, but most of what is played ad infinitum is not the good stuff. Or so I think. |
