It’s a great song. The only version I had heard before Joplin butchered it was Miller’s. He did it well. The junkie did not.

Janis nailed it!
“The junkie did not.”
Miller: Alcoholism, Amphetamines and cigarettes.
Dead at 56.
I rather liked Roger Miller’s version.
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.
“The junkie did not.”
Why be so mean? She had the #1 with it.
