Janis Joplin: Glory & Tragedy
Janis is one of the best blues and soul singers the music business has ever known and you can now proudly display her! Janis has some nice touches: bangles of different size and shapes on each of her wrists, beaded jewelry hanging from her neck, and removable sunglasses and hat. She also comes with a microphone stand and a detachable microphone. Then there’s the base/diorama: the peace sign, mushrooms all around, a tie-dye-ish sunset.
Janis also appears to have suffered from self-hatred and drowned her sorrows with alcohol, eventually dying choking on her own vomit while intoxicated. She lived the heights and depths of human achievement and human frailty: bullying by the frat boys (they voted her the ugliest man on campus), addiction, despair, and an early passage to the Beyond.
“The erotic quivers which shook [Janis’] frame when she sang told the audience she was enjoying every minute of it. When questioned about her singing..she said, ‘Maybe I won't last as long as other singers, but I think you can destroy your now worrying about tomorrow.’” -COLUMBIA DAILY SPECTATOR
Janis poured every bit of herself into her performances, living fully in the moment. As she once said, “Maybe I won’t last as long as other singers, but I think you can destroy your now worrying about tomorrow.”
