Classy lady.
Janis Joplin wouldn’t be caught dead at any award show these days in some of the “attire” worn by “stars”. ;-}
“Janis Joplin wouldn’t be caught dead at any award show these days in some of the “attire” worn by “stars”.”
Because Janis Joplin was too busy drinking booze and sleeping around to actually get sober, glam up, and walk a red carpet.
Even on her better days:
“I have to get undressed after the show, my clothes are ruined, my heels are run through, my underwear is ripped, my body’s stained 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.” http://www.janisjoplin.net/news/26/48/Janis-In-Retrospect/
As Melissa Ethridge said about Janis Joplin at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
“Yes, Janis Joplin was a junkie, yes, she was an alcoholic, yes, she was promiscuous - men, women, she made no excuse for it. In 1967, Janis Joplin was strange and freakish, but I think today she would be pretty hip.” https://rockhall.com/inductees/janis-joplin/transcript/melissa-etheridge-on-janis/#sthash.2fHVsSDU.dpuf
