Janis

Janis Joplin and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan

Just finished watching "The Rose," a Bette Midler movie inspired by my long time musical love Janis Joplin. I don't know why I love her. Every account i read, every movie, every documentary portrays her as someone so lost to her own insecurities and so desperately in need of external validation that she just lost herself. On the other hand, I have always had a penchant for wild women prone to excess- especially if they have a southern accent.
