Resist or Persist. :)

i never thought you were ugly Janis and this song was very special. Thank you for being courageous

amazing how great she sounds today

Who else was trying to find the mean girls character 😭

This woman is a modern-day Witch! I feel sorry for the fools who can't see thru to the reality of this rat.

Bravo ❤❤❤❤

I saw you sing this on SNL, in 1975. I thought, if a person as beautiful and talented as you, can have these feelings, and express them with such sincerity, I can get through this somehow. Thanks for this beautiful song, that touched my heart.

Loved it when I first heard it when I was sixteen - now I am 64 it still gets me!! Amazing song and brilliant artist

Two of my favorites, together......ahhhh

Saw the preview at Berea College! You will love it! ❤❤

Can't wait!

Looking forward to it. Even though I'm sure meeting me didn't make the cut 😊

Little physically, but large and in charge in her music and words. The tallest artist I’ve ever met.

❤ Joan Baez: "This little woman wrote giant works of art."

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this!

I love the line exceeds accounts received and grew into knowing what that meant since I heard it first as someone too young to know. What an amazing song. Thank you.

beautiful 🤩 ❤

What a treat... loved reading to Janis Ian while doing homework @17... the intro was a delightful flashback. Got my playlist going - there will be Flack. there will be SNOW & there is always Raitt. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful life and work.

So well written. Love it.

Such a beautiful woman with a precious smile. Thank you for telling this story in song.

A young woman writes a song as a 15 year old and it resonates with a whole Country for generations...!!❤ MAGIC...BRILLIANT .

二十歳の頃、ジャニスの曲に癒やされていました。tank youジャニス🎉💕

Stumbled as I am wont to do upon Janis tonight while trying to grasp what was happening to me while watching Nina Simone Live in Montroux and Stars led me to this remarkable speech Forever in love and gratitude to you Janis.

I absolutely love this song. To me this is musical poetry. You nailed the prefect imperfection of teenage life. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

This speech is what I would say is: The essence of life! It is true that we are all artists by nature and the only thing that separates us from becoming our true self, is fear.

Janis Ian & Tommy Emmanuel are an amazing musical couple who gel together so well. May they become musically married. Janis you are certainly no ugly duckling you are beautiful!

So very beautiful Thankyou💖🙏🏼

Two of my all time favorite artists playing two of the best songs.

내가 정말 좋은 시대를 살았다는걸...감사 드립니다❤

Beautiful love it

I love you

I found this song in a book of poetry that my mom had. I was delighted to find your lovely sweet voice afterwards. It spoke to me in my adolescent pain. Thank you.

Tomy es un enorme guitarrista y respetó musicalmente a Ian ,

We women give birth to our own betrayers

You are a truth teller You weave your magic in and out up and down black and white creating the harmony the balance 🎆🐚✨

Imagine if the self concious Janice Ian, were 17 in this day and age. She'd almost certainly be groomed to believe she was tranz and have her body mutilated with 'gender affirming' surgery. She'd probably have been on puberty blockers at 13 and hormones at 18, making her sterile for life.

I love you Janis!

This song will always have a place in my heart. Thank you, Janis❤❤❤

Absolutely gorgeous! 💝 Thankyou 🙏💥

Hello Janis - thank you for this song. I've been singing it in the PNW at various circles. Its among a genre of songs once relevant in the pandemic that are now very relevant in this political pandemic.

A song for the ages - I don't think this will ever be old hat! I'd love to know how many times I've listened to this. Was my gateway song to Janis Ian - that guitar intro still stops me in my tracks.

I love you and your music! I've been a fan since the beginning of your career. Noone has ever touched me like you and your music. Please know that you are loved.

I guess we'd better start singing that everyday forever! What a wonderful rendition. Thank you!❤

It's a timeless song and will be known long after we are gone and not even a memory for anyone.

Loved that whole LP. Bought it second hand in 1979 just after I started high school, because it had At Seventeen on, so it must have been something of a hit in Australia. I also bought Stars at the same time (it was my 429th LP).

Perfectly written and relatable.

I'm five years older than you, and first heard this song when you performed on the very first SNL episode. I was a newly-divorced mother who was full of so much fear and uncertainty. This song was about my own teenaged years, and somehow it told me everything would be okay, because I had survived those scary, lonely nights at 17 and now I knew things. I still listen to your music more than almost any other, and it still brings me peace and joy. My life, like yours, is a good one with someone who loves me back, and a good and happy family. Thanks for this song and all the subsequent ones you've given to the world.

Key change on the first "dance with me" has been in my head since hearing this song for the first time four months ago. Beautiful lady inside and out, a true OG of acoustic melody.

Fantastic!

Wonderful song. And your voice has aged like a fine wine.
