Janis Joplin passed away...

Wow, that's amazing. Not very many of those left. I'm impressed.

In 1970 the music world suffered a terrible double tragedy, first Jimi Hendrix, then Janis Joplin two weeks later. The sixties were truly over.

 

Same here! Actually, I didn't get to hear most of Joplin's music until after I bought my first record player. This would have been in the late 1970s.

It was a terrible loss. And both were still so young. Then Jim Morrison died in 1971.

I enjoyed her music, my dad used to play her occasionally. and I got addicted to listening to her.

 

Same here! And thanks for the link - it's so cool to celebrate her life by listening to her awesome music.

My older brother got me hooked on Janis. I've been addicted to her music for thirty years. I like a lot of bands/singers from the sixties, but Janis remains my favorite.

I can´t watching her, I´m not lesbian but I have a big tastes to kiss her everytime I see her on the screen O Just love her deeply, feel a big kinghood to her...it sounds silly, but when I saw her first (performing at the Ed Sullivan´s) I cried for a three days like person with some mental problems

 

There's a really awesome documentary about her (it's called Janis) that was first released in 1975. I bought the video in 1995, and it's the best: Lots of interviews, concert footage, and you even get to see Janis at her 10th annual high school reunion! I keep waiting for it to become available on DVD (with special features, I hope).

I know where I leave on my next pay packet.

 

Dang, that's an impressive Joplin collection. Is it yours? It certainly puts mine to shame. Big time.

QP

 

yep it's all mine

 

That's awesome.
