Janis Joplin

With its unique and powerful interpretations, an easily distinguishable voice, this was the career of this fabulous artist, an icon of the 70's, a star that would shine in the sky forever: Janis Joplin.

Janis Lyn Joplin, born in 1943 in Los Angeles, a star undoubtedly of rock & roll and blues, her performances were what made her become what she is, an artist that many of us today remember and wish her vocal quality return to the terrestrial space, share a show where a voice so unique and remembered is one of the greatest dreams of many, that like me, we praise the career of artists as prominent as Janis. Today represents something very big in the culture of rock, is undoubtedly a star that never stop shining. Despite her short career, in which she only made three albums, Janis Joplin is undoubtedly a brand, a symbol, an icon for many young artists, represents the essence of the 70's and the vigor of a youth full of everything that It wrapped around that time. At the young age of 27, it dies, after an overdose of heroin, a great loss for the industry and for the whole world, a voice that will never return, but that we will all remember forever.

Janis's privacy

As for her personal life, she was always surrounded by controversy, in her adolescence she always had problems of low self-esteem, since she thought herself very ugly, so she makes me think that she later understood that her brightness went beyond a physical appearance His soul shone through his music and all his fans are aware of it.

She always mixed with being bisexual, and apparently had more girlfriends than boyfriends, she always said that she was "sexual" she never said she was heterosexual or bisexual, her sex life was always very relevant to the public eye, she was thought to have orgies and all kinds of sexual parties, so that often came to be rejected even by his own family. Aspect that I think is very personal and that everyone is free to choose their carnal tastes and desires, in the end it was the body of Janis, and the sexual revolution of the 60-70's was a cultural paradigm that was being carried out, and Janis always raised her flag towards that diversity and freedom. Maybe her most stable relationship was with her friend Peggy Caserta, a relationship that was maintained until the time of her death, who knows if as friends or something else, the truth is that both shared their addiction to heroin, a drug that killed the singer , at this point I feel it is a terrible loss and that drugs are the cause of the diversion of so many young people and artists, something that seems recreational for some can end in a strong addiction and death, as happened to Janis. In conclusion no drug is good, it can end your life, with your career, friends and family, I wonder if Janis' destiny would have been different, if she had left her addiction, maybe she would still be delighting us with her music.

A star that will always shine

Being the first woman considered a rock star for 60-70 years was a leap against cultural, since shine on many artists already famous, this entered the hall of fame in 2004, being placed number 46 of the 100 best artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, finally receiving in 2013 a star on the walk of fame in Hollywood, a pity that we did not see this star shine like so many artists who take pictures together their star of fame , a loss for music that was barely opening its wings, but that undoubtedly became a symbol of rock and blues, a sign of how it can be transcended and leave a legacy, that's what Janis Joplin did.
