Forty years ago today: R.I.P. Janis

Freedom's just another word
for nothing left to lose....
......

 

thanx 4 the lovely tribute.

 

R.I.P such a shame...........

 

In 1970 the music world suffered a terrible double tragedy, first Jimi Hendrix, then Janis Joplin two weeks later. The sixties were truly over.

 

Thanks for the awesome tribute. I especially like the Newsweek cover. May Janis rest in peace.

Beautiful.R.I.P.

 

gotta dig some janis
Woulda posted this last week but was out getting hammered in celebration - aka The drinks are on Pearl!

 

I forgot to mention Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat commited suicide on 9/3/70, just 2 weeks before Hendrix died, so it was a triple tragedy.

 

Great Kris Kristofferson lyric ...

 

Don't forget Jim Morrison.

 

Morrison died a year later, while Wilson, Hendrix and Joplin all died within a month of each other. Weird, the 3 of them played at Woodstock and a year later they were dead!

I'm going to put on cheap thrils right now. She really did shake things up while she was here. I got a chance to see big brother and the holding company two years ago. Still rockin'
