Bemerkungen

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Leaving her past as the shy wallflower of Port Arthur, Texas, behind her, Janis followed the lure to San Francisco in 1966. Rocketing to prominence as the electrifying lead vocalist for Big Brother and the Holding Company, she invented her own brand of rock blues at the Fillmore and Avalon Ballroom, later taking her musical gifts higher and wider to a nationwide audience eager to experience Janis as a powerful artist in her own right. Both her music and her life embodied the headlong, revolutionary spirit of the decade. Here is Janis Joplin in all her fascinating complexity, the performer and seeker, addict and alcoholic, at once timid and brash, cowering in inferiority one minute and abandoned to grandiose gestures the next. Though she could never sustain a love affair, she hurled herself from one relationship to another, from early liaisons with band members and road crew to serious encounters with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kris Kristofferson, as well as many female lovers. Janis Joplin had more of everything-problems and passion, fame and disgrace, drugs and booze-and attained a superstardom that, however brief, places her squarely in the first rank of rock immortals, beside Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and Bruce Springsteen. After two decades, she retains this status-a blazing example of one woman's enduring triumph. ISBN 9780446516402
