Janis Joplin Biography
1943 when the oil refinery seaport of Port Arthur, Texas, won the heavenly crapshootas the birthplace of rock roll's first female superstar, janis joplin.
http://www.hotshotdigital.com/WellAlwaysRemember.2/JanisJoplinBio.html

Extractions: BIOGRAPHY "I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat... I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night Wandering the Western dream Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul" Jim Morrison, "The Wasp" On the surface, she seemed the perfect icon for stardom in the late Sixties: She fit no standard of beauty yet exuded a raw sensuality that mirrored a movement which rejected societal standards by creating its own. When Joplin arrived in San Francisco, in 1966, the year before the Summer of Love, its music scene was already in a nascent, post-Beat hippie whirl. Young people flocked to the Bay area as if to Mecca by the thousands, searching for identity, reason, justification, maybe just something as simple as acceptance. This is the irony of all the great Sixties icons Joplin included: that their desire for acceptance was at the heart of their rebellion, and that their ultimate embrace by the masses came about because of this rebellion. The sad part about rebellion, however, is that it usually follows rejection, and that was something Janis Joplin knew deep down in her soul. The Janis Joplin of legend set the standard for the blues mama image of white female singers. Blues mamas have to be hard-livin', hard-lovin' and, of course, hard drinking. But life in the Gulf Coast town was not exactly hard; like much of the town's population, Janis' father, Seth, worked at the Texaco refinery and the Joplins resided comfortably.
Living In The Dead Zone By Gerald & Ralph Faris
Clinical analysis showing the real cause of janis joplin's and Jim Morrison's selfdestructive behavior, i.e., borderline personality disorder.

Extractions: Personality Disorder Gerald A. and Ralph M. Faris SUMMARY AUTHORS BIO ORDER READING ROOM ... Preface Summary This surprising new book by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Gerald Faris and his brother, Sociologist Dr. Ralph Faris, explains in detail, how Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, the 'king and queen' of rock and roll in the 1960's, suffered from a little understood psychiatric disorder that eventually took their lives. The book is clinical in theme, lyrical in style and deeply sympathetic to the real suffering of Janis and Jim. It raises and answers the following questions: The Faris' analysis differs from previously published works in that it provides an explanation for, rather than just a description of the outrageous behaviors that led to Janis and Jim's premature deaths. To form the conclusions in their book, they carefully analyze the voluminous literature ad film available about the two performing artists. One of the most captivating parts of the book is found in the imaginary but revealing psychotherapy sessions with Janis and then with Jim. The sessions are realistically constructed and are both entertaining and sympathetic. They will help to clarify the nature and complexity of this disorder for both the laymen and the clinician.

Extractions: On October 4,1970: Janis Joplin dies at the age of 27 RA.216 K. On October 4, 1970, four years and four months after she bolted from Austin, Janis Joplin overdosed in her room at the Landmark Hotel in Los Angeles, having scored a particularly pure batch of heroin. Her career had been virtually meteoric, but her ascent as the first goddess of rock was doused by her sad, lonely death, which followed that of Jimi Hendrix, who'd died two weeks earlier. Jim Morrison would die within a year. Janis was cremated and her ashes were scattered along the Marin County coastline of California. For more Tributes go to : To all Music lovers out there !

Handbook Of Texas Online: JOPLIN, JANIS LYN
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/JJ/fjo69.html

Extractions: format this article to print JOPLIN, JANIS LYN (1943-1970). Janis Lyn Joplin, blues and rock singer, daughter of Seth Ward and Dorothy (East) Joplin, was born on January 19, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas. She grew up in a respectable middle-class home; her father was an engineer and her mother a Sunday school teacher. The future queen of nonconformity is remembered as a bright, pretty, and artistic little girl. Signs of rebellion against the religious, sexual, and racial conservatism of her environment were evident in junior high school, and by the time Janis graduated from Jefferson High School in Port Arthur in 1960, her vocabulary of four-letter words, her outrageous clothes, and her reputation for sexual promiscuity and drunkenness (signs of alcoholism were already apparent) caused her classmates to call her a slut. Bereft of friends, without dates for school dances, ashamed of her acned face and overweight figure, Janis responded with contempt and insults to cover the rejection that scarred her for the rest of her life. In her junior year, she found acceptance in a small group of Jefferson High beatniks who read Jack Kerouac and roamed the nightspots from Port Arthur to New Orleans, thus mining one of the motherlodes of American ethnic music. There were Anglo, African-American, Cajun, Mexican, and Caribbean sounds. There were the lyrics and rhythms of country-and-western, Gospel, jazz, soul, and the blues.

Otis Redding
Describes Otis Redding's profound influence on Rock/Blues artist janis joplin
http://www.janisjoplin.net/influences/otis/redding.html

Extractions: In December of 1966, Janis saw Otis Redding perform for the first time. She attended every performance that he gave that weekend at the Fillmore. An hour before the show, she'd be on the dance floor and would place herself in the middle, very close to the stage. While he sang, she watched, transfixed. She absorbed his motions, dwelled on his shouts, and in her imagination perhaps could hear her own voice in those corrugated rasps. Later Tina Turner was to be a major influence too, but it was Otis Redding who changed Janis' concept of singing. "Her high-energy trip started right at that moment," Dave Getz declared. Six months after she saw Otis Redding, he was back at the Fillmore. Janis, this time joined by Sam Andrew, planted herself as close to the stage as she could get. Sam claims Janis "absorbed Redding's every syllable, movement, and chord change." She watched the way he made the song "visible" through his movements. "I started singing rhythmically," she said, "and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it." The weekend of June 16, 1967, at the Monterey International Pop Festival, both Janis Joplin and Otis Redding blew away the audience with spectacular performances. Later on in her career, on tour with the Kozmic Blues band, Janis regularly performed Otis' tune "I Can't Turn You Loose".

Fine art archival photos of 1960s folk, bluegrass, blues, roots and rock musicians Bob Dylan, janis joplin, Joan Baez, Doc Watson, many traditional performers, on and offstage.
http://www.cookephoto.com

Extractions: Janis Joplin Self Portrait 1965 John Byrne Cooke experienced the 1960s within the music of the counterculture. As a member of the Charles River Valley Boys bluegrass band in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his musical home was the legendary Club 47, one of the principal wellsprings of the folk-music boom. When folk gave way to rock and roll, John moved to San Francisco, home of the Haight-Ashbury and acid rock, to become the road manager for Big Brother and the Holding Company and Janis Joplin. Through it all, he was taking pictures. He wasn't just another photographer hanging around in rehearsals and backstage, or trying to shoot from the wings during a concert. He wasn't an outsider in the company of musicians. John was a musician himself. He belonged. John's photographs reveal his unique perspective on that exciting and turbulent decade. They include luminaries of the new generation - Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the Chambers Brothers - as well as traditional musicians such as Doc Watson, Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, and many more who helped to inspire the folk revival, shown both in performance and in private moments offstage. In recent years, John's photos have appeared in books and television documentaries, magazines and CD booklets, but he has been exhibiting them publicly and offering them for sale only since 1998. His work offers a new archive of affectionate and revealing images from the fabled Sixties.
