I believe my father has her rollbar (from her 356), installed in his ‘64.

Poor Janis. She was definitely not destined for a long life. She would be in her late 70's now and I can't picture Janis as a grandmother.

When I was in the Army in 1970-71, it seemed like "Me & Bobby McGee" played almost every morning at breakfast in the mess hall. One of those songs that still triggers memories of that time in my life whenever I hear it.

I’ve always been enamored with her voice. So much emotion and feeling. Check out “Ball and Chain” by Big Brother & the Holding Company, I love that one.

To me she will always be the GOAT female rock singer.

I always appreciated Dick Cavett's gracious interviews with Janice.

I will never forget her singing Ball and Chain at Monterey Pop in 1967, and again somewhere in Socal in 1968. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1zFnyEe3nE> Check out Mama Cass' reaction to Joplin...

Janis Joplin pretty much symbolized both the craziness and the talent of the sixties. She was something all right.
Do a search and look for Pinks rendition of "Me and Bobby Mcgee"....one of the best.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if she had lived. Still a star? Retired and forgotten? Playing nostalgia shows at casinos? We'll never know.

In my last ride thru Texas, I saw the billboard on I-10 near Port Arthur pointing the direction to Janis Joplin Museum.
Sadly, I didn't have time to visit.

Always got a kick out of a friend saying her voice was like Bonnie Raitt on ACID. LOL
