Janis

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, then returns home to find it.

About Me


“It's gonna be a long hard drag, but we'll make it”


"If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time."
"I must be an optimist, because a pessimist is never disappointed."

"It's a supreme emotional and physical
experience-I live for that one hour on stage.
It's full of feeling-it's a rush, honey."

..
"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got"

Janis Exhibit at The Museum of the Gulf Coast

If you've never been to see Janis' exhibit, it is well worth the trip. Now, mind you, it is a small exhibit, but for Janis fanatics . . . you'll love it! Here are some pictures. The website is http://www.museumofthegulfcoast.org/Content/Home but there are no pictures on it.

“Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?”

My Interests







"You're supposed to be doin' an article on
me, man. Fuck reality!"




"It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back"


"You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow."

“I'm one of those regular weird people.”
“It's hard to be free but when it works, it' s worth it!”



"Well, I was supposed to be on the latest cover of Newsweek,
but Eisenhower died. Goddamnit, 14 heart attacks
and he had to die in my week."



Janis With Kris Kristofferson

After Janis' death, Kris Kristofferson broke down in the studio when he heard "Me and Bobby McGee." The song went on to become her only number one single.

I'd like to meet:



“Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.”


"I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought."


Music:

"Rock on out"
Some of Janis's Favorite's:

..

"Don't mind me, man, I'm just fuckin' with ya…"

Movies:


"I was the same chick, because I've been her forever, and I know her, and she ain't no star: she's lonely, or she's good at something. I have to get undressed after the show, my clothes are ruined, my heels are run through, my underwear is ripped, my body's strained from my clothes, my hair's stringy, I got a headache and I got to go home, and I'm lonely, and my clothes are all fucked up, my shoes have come apart, and I'm pleading with my road manager to please give me a ride home, please, please, just so I can take these fuckin' clothes off, and that ain't no star, man, that’s just a person."
