I’m from Beaumont Texas just a few miles from Port Arthur. I remember 1970 like it was yesterday but I was still to young to appreciate her music. RIP Janis❤️

"Marijuana makes you think too much." Absolutely. The last couple of times that I smoked, I cried for about an hour. No wailing, just silent, desperate tears. It's not for everyone. On the other hand, I am a happy drunk. Rest In Peace Talented, Kind and Beautiful Lady Janis😔🌹

Best singer ever

So sad she left us so soon,she was a sweet Lady ! RIP

I heard her music as a child, but understood more as I got older. Just an incredible talent that left too soon.

Geraldo asked why Janis was doing something so "stupid and suicidal" as heroin. Good question. I believe I can offer some insight on it. As a retired musician and an (ex) addict, I can personally attest to the fact that alcohol and drugs are the only things that can make you feel good, period. The music helps, but as soon as you play the last note, the show is over. You're right back to that low self esteem, that insecurity, that self hatred. Alcohol and drugs numb those things and they provide a great feeling that, even though it is a deathly lie, it seems at the time better than nothing. Miss you Janis. Love you girl. Thanks fir the incredible music.

Yes, but if drugs are the only thing that can help you reconcile your personal issues then singing in a rock band and being famous was the worst thing she could have done for herself. Coming to terms with her problems should have come first…..Fame and fortune could have waited.

People who have never struggled and have never felt TRUE pain and depression will never understand why people turn to drugs and will continue to talk down on them as being "self-destructive" because they're looking from the outside in, with absolutely NO context or knowledge of the person they're judging.

I did not realize that Geraldo's tenure went all the way back to 74'. God damn.

@john Yeah, way back when, Geraldo was semi-legitimate; go FIGURE!..

This is sad r. I.p. ❤ love u jains 😢

Janis Joplin was a tortured soul who's life and death played out in public. I was a teenager when she died, but i wasn't surprised. She seemed determined to end her life.

A true butterfly, there she is, so beautiful, there she goes ❤ My girl, can't wait to meet you in heaven ✌🏻🌺

Geraldo was such a jerk even back then. Why not stop looking for the failings in geniuses? Most geniuses are wracked with emotional pain! Or they are vessels of enormous gifts and exhaust themselves producing what burns inside of them. Geraldo and his pejorative terminology is inexcusable. Maybe just too dense to understand what a painful and lonely place this world can be. It’s filled with users and narcissists.

Agreed too some degree

She was special all the time. Not just on stage. And if she couldn't deal with the emotions that so much pain in life caused her, from mostly shallow people's treatment of her and her internalization of that bad treatment, that's tragic. But she wasn't "screwed up," Geraldo. Have more sensitivity. Don't be so quick to label what you clearly cannot understand.

Cool Video on ,,Queen Janis,, Some realy wierd and unnessesairy questions asked... I mean at @5:20 The Friends thing... First of all We now know (Sixtys were a TOTAL diferent time)You cannot make a Heroin addict Stop. They realy have to WANT that themselfs. WANT to at least listen/Talk to a Good Friend...and Janis had NOT such friends. That age REAL Friends are made during College and before ...Janis did NOT make friends during that periode as a Young Kid....

Janis Joplin always had a wonderful voice. I think she was not u understood & straggling with demons. It's so sad a young life gone too soon. Will always live n our hearts forever as well as her music

He sold out to his master of shallowness, the Devil: Capitalism

First off I can not get over baby faced Geraldo in this interview and the question he asked about why did no one help Janice or stop her from doing drugs it is a question I often wonder when I hear someone has an addiction to anything. I guess the person using a substance has to want help it has to start with them and the help hopefully will be there when they decide they are ready and not when it is too late.

When someone has an addiction you can't stop them. They can't stop themselves so to to point blame at a person's friends or surroundings is plain ignorance

you are total ignorance. you must be like the people of janis joplins hometown who excluded her and put her down because she was different. people like you are sad shallow and sick. you try to beat people who are different into your own mold then when they refuse to conform to your "normalcy" you reject them even more. then just wave and point your self righteous finger at them when they mess up in any way. you drive them there refuse to admit it say that it was their own fault and then pat your self righteous selves on each others backs. ignorant hypocrites. who gave you the right to decide what is normal or not?

Her job was to clip articles about janis in magazines and newspapers and compile them together and hand them to janis when she wanted them. A glorified office girl really . Even Sam Andrew said Myra tried to make more out of their so-called relationship than it actually was . I have the book buried alive and some of the incidents she tries to relate to the reader seem contrived if not outright fabrications...read it for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Back then, white people were still listening to Lawrence Welck. When rock hit the scene with white people; the roots of rock and roll comes from black music from the Mississippi Delta, you would never expect white women to sing like black women had been singing all along for decades. With soul and naked expression. That's why Geraldo mentions that she was a white woman singing with soul. Like Tina Turner who Janis admired, along with all the other black singers she saw in the south in bars she visited with her friends.

Back when Geraldo had a straight nose. Lol
