THE "27"
CLUB
JANIS JOPLIN
at her last concert
Harvard Stadium
Boston
August 12, 1970
I have been resisting posting on Janis Joplin and the so-called "27 Club" ever since the death of Amy Winehouse (R.I.P.) kicked them up to the top of the news.
Stuart Samuels has been working on a documentary of earlier "27"-ers, including Joplin, meant to bring perspective.
But as for the coverage now, enough is enough.
I have decided to post a happy picture from Janis's last concert (above). Several others I have already posted can be found by clicking the "Labels" box, below, and by going to this web page.
With Janis Joplin, at least, it was not all gloom & doom.
