I know, it's prolly 'cause everyone is so upset about John Trudell dying. So I'ma do it and you can read my blog post about her too.

Happy Birthday, Mama!

About Janis, and Holding Aloft Her Torch
It’s pretty hard to underestimate the influence Janis Joplin has had on my life; for better or worse, she was my only female role model from about 1985 onwards. I used to relish getting a sore throat with a cold and take advantage of that rasp to scream at the top of my lungs; I think at the beginning there, I may have only had “Piece of My Heart” on cassette–taped off the radio. I remember freshman year in high school getting on the bus and my friend Heidi being like “You sound sick!” and I said “I know! It’s great for trying to sing like Janis!”

My favorite image of Janis is also the one that literally brings tears to my eyes because she was so beautiful and went through her short life thinking she wasn't (mildly NSFW):

Happy belated birthday, honey.
