Man she sure favored those red crushed velvet or crushed corduroy pants didn’t she?
Lots of pics of her in those britches
A tragic figure
So talented but homely and rejected and used by men all her life she just threw herself at them more
People treated her cruelly based on her looks and idiosyncratic behavior
She was kind of a beat blues cum hippie chick....
Sad and pained
Ridicule can be the worst form of cruelty especially when it’s a public humiliation based on a woman’s looks
Her college....pissant Lamar College....the fraternities awarded her most handsome man on campus...
That’s a helluva public blow to woman’s self esteem
No shock to me she self destructed
I guess I’m just like a turtle
That’s hidin’ underneath its hardened shell.
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin’ underneath its hardened shell.
But you know I’m very well protected -
I know this goddamn life too well.
Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
I’ve been called much of some things around,
Honey, don’t ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
I’ve been called much of some things, all things around,
Yeah, but I’m gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ain’t no one gonna dog me down.
Alright, yeah.
