Janis Joplin Lyrics


"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"

The Cosmic Giggle must have been in full-tilt hysterics on
January 19, 1943 when the oil refinery seaport of Port
Arthur, Texas, won the heavenly crapshoot as the birthplace
of rock & roll's first female superstar, Janis Joplin. In
retrospect, Port Arthur's most famous daughter both defied
and defined the Texas town that raised, rejected, More...

Free Spirits Still Roam | Reviewer: Tim Giangiobbe
    ------ About the song Me & Bobby McGee performed by Janis Joplin

Janis Launched a generation of free spirits.She along with Jimi and superb and influential groups like Buffalo Springfield came alive and then they died.It was the era the music died a generation removed.The idea of being a free spirit was just a fantasy for many.Now due to circumstances beyond their control many boomers are becoming free spirits late in life.
Never too late to live free.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.The citizens have too much too lose therefore they are easily manipulated.Let's suppose that everyone just told the lien holders of all obligations that have unreasonable terms to take a long hike off a short pier.
Then you too will truly have nothing left to lose and be dealing from a position of I DON'T GIVE A SHIT and that really freaks them out.Face it at the very point one knows they will default on a business loan that was attached to significant property equity that took a dive either seek short sale or leave if you are under water.Too many citizens let the reality rule them thinking they can change the outcome or fool a credit report.
It will never be fair in the USA when the wealthy screw up and still get recapitalized but when the average citizen messes up they have a bad credit rating there is no bail out.
SO IF THEY PLAY BY THOSE CHICKEN SHIT RULES
So can the simple citizen.
Thus
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.That works sometimes !!
When the loan leaves you under water BAIL !!
Free and singing THE FORECLOSURE BLUES.
PEACE

    ------ About the song Bye, Bye Baby performed by Janis Joplin

I get the feeling I could chase you clean on into home
And wind up staying put off, put down, strung out and stoned.
Honey, ain't got time to wait on you,so fetch yourself a bone,
I got lots of things I've got to do.
I know that you got things to do and places to be.
I guess I'll have to find the thing and place for me.
I may wind up in the street or sleeping in a tree,
Still, honey guess you know I've gotta go.

    ------ About the song Me & Bobby McGee performed by Janis Joplin

I grew up in the 70's disco era and never paid attention to rock and blues as it all just sounded so raw. God did I miss out as after listening to Janis and Pink sing Me and Bobby Mcgee did it really hit me in the face. I missed out on some of the greatest music of all time. You couldnt pay me to listen to disco now..

    ------ About the song Me & Bobby McGee performed by Janis Joplin

A great American ballad. A story that needed to be told. This song and Janis have stood the test of time, a real sign of great music. Janis is still a legend and with her unrefined voice hits a nerve that goes right to the soul. There should be a law that nobody could possibly interpret this song the with the same feeling and therefore should never be covered. This song is a reflection of Janis' life: crude, to the point, and filled with disappointment. Critics of Janis (of which I was one back in the day) are and were wrong. We can all learn from her and "Bobby McGee".

Brilliant | Reviewer: Nick Sherratt
    ------ About the song Maybe performed by Janis Joplin

I am only 14 years old, yet all the music from the scene of the 60s and 70s has had such an impact on my life. I discovered Janis Joplin through watching the film of the Woodstock Festival and then bought her albums. Just a brilliant song from a sixties legend.

    ------ About the song Piece of My Heart performed by Janis Joplin

IT"S JUST BLUES PEOPLE!!!
Written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song came to greater mainstream attention when Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company covered the song in 1968 on their album Cheap Thrills and had a hit with it. The song has since been remade by several singers, including hit versions by Faith Hill in 1994 and Melissa Ethridge in 2010.

It was a harmonica | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Me & Bobby McGee performed by Janis Joplin

It's another bit of irony if you will. A harpoon is actually a tool for catching something...be it catching a fish or something else. A harmonica is also a tool. Kris plays the harmonica. Bobby was a woman. He pulled his harmonica out and started playing while she sang to his music.

    ------ About the song Cry Baby performed by Janis Joplin


JANIS

Janis Joplin some say of obscure fame, well Janis I'm someone who remembers your name, In me you will live to my children I"ll give the gift of your talented fame..

Though short was your life, cut short by some grain that you purposely foolishly pumped in your veins, So were you escaping reality or did your want to die maybe numbing your pain so you wouldn't have to cry...

Oh Janis such pain I feel in your songs I try to make ny throat bleed as I sing along but there's only 1 JANIS and you I could never be' know that Janis you'll always be number 1 legend to me Janis Joplin R.I. P

    ------ About the song Piece of My Heart performed by Janis Joplin

I have loved this song since I first heard it on the Cadbury's advert. I have only Just found out that it's Janis Joplin that sings it. I am studying her at school and she is quite an inspiration to me apart from her death but I really like her music she has a really powerful voice and should be worldly recognized for her talent. too bad she isn't alive though.
