October 4th 1970 Janis Joplin was found dead in her Hotel room from an accidental overdose.it was proven she shot Uncut pure heroin and died.you're Missed Janis especially by me



fly on Pearl.... fly on..

Rest in peace, man.*












*Didn't ya just love how she ended every single sentence with "man"? She will be missed.

Janis is one of those people who, when people ask who you'd love to talk to living or dead, her name is always on my short list. I'd love to just sit and drink and smoke and gossip with that woman all night, listening to her blues albums and shooing her cats off my lap.

watching that documentary about her (where she goes to her high school reunion) made me really really wish i could have had a chance to hang out with her...she just reminded me of my kind of people, scary as that might sound.

Even when she was here she was on a different planet. Raw, gutsy and lived her short life to the fullest. I miss her terribly. She epitomized the culture I loved (except for the heroin). 100% out there 100% of the time.

TheRealFiness said:

You catch her at the Celebration year 2?

TRON said:

nawwwww... had i?... i woulda went out my way to meet u and Beamie..

TheRealFiness said:

Yeah, but that was back in the black & purple days when I was still funquita.

There wasn't the sense of community that there's been from 2.0 and the 3rd Celebration onward.

But if I'd known who you were back then, I would've definitely made the effort too.

ive always been Finess never changed

I know a lot of folks who knew you like chocolate and Aaron, but I wasn't super active until 2002.

There is this perception of her that she was just a space cadet junkie. If you ever have the chance to watch an old interview of her, do it. She was highly intelligent. I was very surprised and impressed. I always just bought what I was told about her. This woman is a legend. She felt her music like people rarely do. What a shame to lose her so early

I just bought her cd "Pearl" the other day, but haven't had time to listen to it. I'll listen to it this weekend!
