Sinse darling Janis left this world 36 years ago I think its time for a few photos of her.

Janis breaks my heart just a little.

I've been in a joplin mood as fall approaches: high heeled boots, scarves, big jewelry, a little victorian, but always with a rocker edge. Post pics!B)

The photo of Janis lying on her side with a Southern Comfort bottle always reminds me of the following:
Janis loved making money, and she might well be said to have been among the first rock 'n' roll stars to find a corporate sponsor - of sorts. While the Airplaine became flacks for Levi Strauss, Janis decided the Southern Comfort folks owed her for all the free publicity she was giving their product. She directed Albert Grossman's office to flood the company with newspaper clipplings mentioning her fondness for Southern Comfort, and the company ended up giving her a check for twenty-five hundred dollars, which she put toward the purchase of a lynx coat. Once she got the coat, Janis plugged herself, not the product. "Oh man, that was the best hustle I ever pulled - can you imagine getting paid for passing out for two years?"

Love her. What a great singer, whose life was taken away so quickly! =(

I love her too. There is another thread about her in The Art of Noise. I just recently finished reading a book about her. Truly heartbreaking.
