The junkie. Really? Geez, it must be nice to live a perfect life with no vices and no sins.

She lived life fast and hard and flamed out like a shooting star but left a hell of mark in the process. Her rendition is still current, Miller’s has long been forgotten.

Miller was no Saint. Joined the military to avoid jail. Alcoholic, druggie and tobacco addict. Dead at 56.

No, I have my own sins and vices, of course. Not seeing in my comments any proclamation that I “live a perfect life.’

But I am pretty sure that the record shows Joplin was an addict, and that is how she died, right?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion about her singing, and I am entitled to mine.
