On this day, [November 15] 1969: Janis Joplin accused of vulgar and indecent language in Tampa, Fla. I don't know who accused her but, according to the standards of Tampa, 1969, she was most likely guilty. (I picked this gem up from the home page of this website.) The earthly remains of Bessie Smith reposed in an unmarked grave until Janis had a monument engraved for her. It called Bessie the greatest Blues singer. The whole quote and maybe even a picture can probably be found with a bit of diligent web-searching.

Gotta match? Not since Janis died...late jazz tenor player husband used to say there was no such thing as a jazz singer....never mind...but I played Janis and he took it back...she never sang a note she didn't mean..."there's always gonna be a big huge bulk of straight people that aren't goin' for it" ok I did some clothes and new some bands...why doI keep getting people calling me Janis, who knows...40 years later...Intruder?...One night stand...one good man..."It was prety funky, man, but it wasn't the jungle..."
