She was the real deal.

And today's kids listen to.. Lady Gaga? Britney Spears? Their message to talented, atistic young girls: "Be free and authentic, by painting your face, dressing like a prostitute, expressing yourself by wearing next to nothing and becoming sex object before you even know what it means." Janis Joplin gave girls a different message: "Be free and authentic by just being yourself - who ever that may be."

Sparrow ever thought your just getting old I can hear the older folks in the 50s and 60s making a similar case about Elvis, Little Richard, Janis, Jimmy, Mick etc etc etc. Sure I'm not thrilled about my kids listening to Lady Gag Me but I am a middle aged man so I'd be worried if I actually did like her music and go to her concerts.

as you can see from this video, school bullying was always aroung ...school kids laughing and making fun of all of the 'not normal or popular' kids. They should show this video to today's students.
