Janis Joplin - Get it while you can

[@robertnieten7259]

When you're young you always think there will be the next one until you realize years later that there wasn't a next one like her.

[@michelleagleton2344]

@robertnieten7259 Amen. The 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's bands and singers never to be replicated- EVER

[@SethGamba]

The truth.

[@1blastman]

And she died three and a half months later, my best memory of Janis was seeing her at the Fillmore East and singing until 4 am during the second show. I was smart enough to go to both shows that night and I'll never forget the impact she had on me. One of a kind, the best that ever was.

[@siobhansprouse3254]

It makes me sad to actually watch her and see her on video. She was someone who felt music so much and it was obvious that people had really let her down in a lot of aspects. I only wish she had had more honest friends when she so obviously needed them.

[@vogelfrau2425]

You can never protect people from themselves. It's a sad but true experience.

[@alexandruoctavian4274]

Janis will always be my favorite person as an artist she always kept it chill and real, its a shame so many artists have been dying of drugs, alcohol and suicide because they are so hyper sensitive to feelings you can tell by hearing them because they sing with true convictions and they don't focus on what people expect them to be, or perfectly toned, you can literally hear and feel the emotions in all the flaws just make them unbeatable because that's what made them incredible.

[@demonbunny6555]

I wish I could go back in time and save her and spend my life with this incredible, beautiful woman. I really do, honest.

[@miltonwilliams168]

Being able to watch this great talent some 40 years after her untimely death just makes me happy that KZbin has done such a great job letting the World to still be able to see and watch Janis perform, it also makes me somewhat sad remembering how young she was when she OD'ed. We will never know how much more she could have brought to the world of music. I was lucky enough to see Janis in Concert in Jan.'70, it's a concert I'll never forget. The emotion and power she brought to her performance's is still remarkable even today.

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

That line: "We may not be here tomorrow..." I had to replay that to make sure I heard her right. Presently, I am 27, and to know that she didn't make it past that age is a mind scramble. Of course, people die every day of all age groups - no one is exempt. But the very thought "get it while you can" is so real and ironic given this short amount of time she had left. It's good advice for us all, really. To live. We've only got one life, and although some of us will be here longer than others, the changes we make and the grounds we break are what counts. RIP Janis.

Janis struggled with H and Southern Comfort. Several of her contemporaries fell victim to drugs as well...Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison come to mind. Somehow Keith Richards survived.
