'Janis: Her Life and Music’ recovers the true story of Rock’s first woman superstar. Read our review
Big Brother’s set at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 made Joplin a superstar — “Haight-Ashbury’s first pinup,” as she dubbed herself. But by boldly putting herself out there in a male-dominated rock scene, Joplin endured sexism that now seems almost primordial: Critics commented on her weight and appearance; one Rolling Stone reviewer described her onstage as an “imperious whore.
George-Warren, a veteran journalist and longtime Rolling Stone contributor who has written important biographies of Alex Chilton and Gene Autry, respectfully handles the gossipy side of Joplin’s free-loving Sixties hedonism . The author’s main focus is Joplin’s increasingly ambitious music, vibrant personality, and hard emotional journey.
