4. I loved Janis, too, BUT...

if she had continued singing like that, she would have had no voice at all by now. On the last live recordings, you can already hear it weakening. Few blues singers growl like that all the time.

Still, she was one in a million. Back when I was a grad student, I used to liven up parties by putting on her rendition of "Move Over" or "Half Moon," and invariably, people would get up and start dancing.

2. Damn, I miss her!

I teach high school, and I know every generation thinks whatever music kids are listening to is awful and no match for what "we grew up with", but DAMN, that bitch could rip your heart out with her music, couldn't she?

If you never saw her interview on the Cavett show, go watch it. She was fabulous, and I was always glad she had the chance to "go back and laugh" at the people who made her high school years so miserable.:hippie:

5. Didja Know

Leonard Cohen's song Chelsea Hotel #2 was about Janice. I loved everything about Janice and I certainly love my Leonard Cohen. This was a fun fact I didn't know until recently.
