remembering Janis


Onstage, I make love to 25,000 people, then I go home alone. People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards, well, to summarize, Big Brother is doing great and I just may be a "star" one day. You know, it's funny. As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is losing its meaning, But what ever it means I'm ready!--


Janis Joplin, in a letter to her mother, summer 1967
If Elvis was the King she is assuredly my Queen!
