Happy Birthday Janis Joplin
Janis was born January 19th in Port Arthur,Texas in 1943. I don't want to do the math. She lived fast and died much too young on October 4,1970. This is Leonard Cohen singing Chelsea Hotel, a song about his night with Janis.
-
"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
-
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."
