Women's Day

The woman I appreciated today was Janis Joplin, a very famous blues and rock singer born 1943. Like many rockstars she died at the age of 27. Not before leaving behind an immensely inspiring and powerful legacy. Hailed as one of the greatest singers of all time, her career took her from her first recording in 1962 to performing at Woodstock 7 years later. Joplin has had an effect on anyone who has ever thought of dabbling into music. Especially my girlfriend, who follows a very similar trend, starting with listening to old old blues musicians, picking up a guitar and letting it carry you away. My favorite quote would be one from her highschool days, "I was a misfit. I read, I painted, I didn't hate niggers".
