Book Reviews of Pearl: The Obsessions and Passions of Janis Joplin
Book Review: She sang, she lived, she died.
Summary: 5 Stars
She lived, she sang, she died- the unbias and unforgettable true tale of the life and loves of Janis Joplin. A flowing read and a great time. You may even win a concert ticket or two when you listen to the radio, but sadly not hers, of course. If you are out there looking for some entertainment-read it. If you love the music and looking for some insight into the songs...pick it up. If you're on the verge of or in the middle of your mid-life crisis...perfect. Heck- even if you are one of those want-to-be hippies out there. Read this book. You'll like. SOme of you will walk away with new thoughts to think and new songs to sing. Enjoy.
Summary of Pearl: The Obsessions and Passions of Janis Joplin
Out of the Texas-Louisiana swamps she wailed the blues like no one, black or white, has ever dared. She was Janis Joplin--the first rock star of the 1960s counterculture, a fashion trendsetter in San Francisco's back-to-the-roots movement that overtook the world, a prisoner of an ultimately doomed search for happiness in sex and drugs, money and fame.Music Books
