And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I recently found one of my favorite JJ songs, Piece of my Heart, done by Erma Franklin,( Aretha Franklin's sister). Personally, I think it's a better version than Janis'.
You want blasphemy? Laibach covered the Beatles "Let It Be" album better than they did, Bear McCready did "Along the Watchtower" better than Jimi Hendrix, and many other examples. Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse; stay away from opiates, musicians!
While she was alive, "Pearl" was one of my favorite entertainers.
I was lucky enough to see her perform live with Big Brother and the Holding Company at the University of California Santa Barbara in mid-1967. The opening act was Country Joe and the Fish.
Still enjoy Janis to this day. One of the best.

ReplyDeleteNatalia Tsarikova does Nightwish better than they do.
DeleteJoe Cocker did "With a Little Help From My Friends", and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" better than the Beatles.
DeleteMarkD, I'd be interested to hear her live. I've had the pleasure of seeing Floor sing and she can really do it, without any assistance.
