Yah know - Janis Joplin's music and story were tragic
Pure tragedy

Pure utter abysmal tragedy

Gifted singer comes to SF from Texastan. Creates beautiful music, but has to go home. Goes home, and she realizes how horrible "home" is. Commits suicide.

Game over.

Fuck.

1. I have loved her since I was 9 years old.
I identify with her so strongly... her voice touches me like no one else's does.

2. She's definitely a member of that club that includes Patsy Cline and Sandy Denny
That club...

3. For me she's so far and away the best female singer ever.
I'm very biased though.

5. Well, shee-it I can understand that
It is tough being an independant minded person in Texas.

That's why you have to leave and come here, to California. Trust me, something will work out.

4. She was the best, but her "suicide" was unintentional.
Like Jim and Jimi.
