Surely some kind of amateur put this together!!!! Sure it is sprinkled with some sort of truth here and there- but by and large misses her point and genius by a long shot!

What's up with these captions already??? Somebody just pulled them out of the air or what?

Seems they meant well but alas - have no idea who she was as a person - an incredibly smart human being.

What a bunch of BS that this stuff passes as truth! I am beside myself.

Ya think ya can simply relegate such a genius musician by plodding a few mere *selective* sentences here and there and try and pass it off as the truth?

Nope. Nope. Not at all.

Shame. Shame on anyone who THOUGHT they knew enough about her to try and pass this crap off!

Janis was not only a very intelligent human being and singer...but she grasped some very intelligent concepts all on her own and it is just a damned shame that she still doesn't get credit for it!

Case in point: Her LIVE version of Ball & Chain. Think about it.

Know just exactly WHAT TRAIN she was talking about here???? Took me over 20+ years to figure this one out - dig this: Janis was talking about *the train* as it related to Einstein's clock tower experiment. How 'bout them apples?????

She was so much smarter than most could appreciate. Is it no wonder she was so lonely and misunderstood? Get a load of this:
