"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got"
-Janis Joplin
I suggested to my ex 2 YEARS AGO that he should do Janis Joplin as his weekly "Queer Music Friday" and he FINALLY did!!! Here are the videos he chose
So ironic that he would choose "Sumertime," becuae it always makes me think of him:
"Summertime, child, the livin's easy...."
I would only add this...
Every heartbreak I SURVIVED, even you-- ESPECIALLY YOU-- it was partly because of Janis (as melodramatic as that may seem).
"her range, her deep, soulful, bluesy rasp, her song interpretation, and her ability to show deep pain in her voice, and set her apart from most of the vocalists of the 20th century."
I told you so....
In her own words:
"I'm gonna call it 'I just made love to 25,000 people, but I'm goin' home alone'
"Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers."
"...tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day."
God bless Janis. May she live forever....
