Janis Lyn Joplin (* 19. Januar 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas; † 4. Oktober 1970 in Los Angeles) war eine US-amerikanische Sängerin.

Neben Jimi Hendrix und Jim Morrison war Janis Joplin eine der zentralen Symbolfiguren der Hippiezeit und der Hippiekultur. Alle drei prägten einen Lebensstil, der im Nachhinein durch „Sex, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll“ und „Live fast, love hard, die young“ gekennzeichnet wurde. Aufgrund ihres frühen Todes wird sie wie andere einflussreiche Musiker zum Klub 27 gezählt.

 

Die vergebliche Suche nach der wahren Liebe, Zuneigung und Geborgenheit ließ sie zuweilen in depressive Phasen fallen, welche sie durch Heroin, Kokain und Alkohol zu verdrängen suchte. Durch diese innere Zerrissenheit der Gefühle und ihre Schwierigkeiten, enge menschliche Kontakte aufzubauen, lässt sich ihre Musik verstehen, die gleichzeitig Stolz und Verzweiflung (All is loneliness) ausdrückt.

Sights while traveling through Western Missouri on Route 66 in Joplin

Hunting down Janis Joplin album cover art for fun (because, yes, I sometimes do that sort of thing), I happened upon this Web site.

 

Hmm, so lets see, in mathematical terms, what *do* Janis and I have going ?

 

I made her dress! :D

This is the Landmark Motor Hotel (now called the Highland Garden Inn) where Janis Joplin died.

Lived in Joplin: James has lived in Joplin, on the same block, for 25 years. He has lived in this particular house for 7 or 8 years.

Address: 2212 S. Bird

Occupation: He works at a metal working plant that makes specific types of aluminum.

Relatives: James lives with his 15 year old daughter, Jamie. His parents, Charles and Joyce, live next door.

Project Type: Minor Repairs

Currently Living: He and his daughter currently live in the house.

Setbacks in Rebuilding: James did not have full replacement coverage for his house, before the tornado. While the insurance money paid for some of the damages, and he paid for what he could, he eventually ran out of funds to make the repairs.

 

Tornado Experience: James was mowing his yard, when he first heard the sirens. He ignored them, the sun was shining and his yard needed mowed. It began to rain, so James put the mower away and went into the house. He took a bath, sweaty from the yard work he’d just finished. As he came out into the living room, after his bath, he found his daughter napping on the couch. He looked out the front door, and saw the sunshine and light showers he had left earlier. As he looked out the back, he could see the tornado coming towards his house. He grabbed his daughter, and hid in the bathroom. They could feel the pressure, as the tornado broke every window in the house. After the tornado passed, the 125 year old tree in his back yard had taken out his and two neighbors garages. His front room was covered in glass. And his parents were next door. After getting shoes for his daughter, he rushed next door to check on his parents. His mom was stuck in her house, but once he dug her out, she was ok. Then they waited. Waited hour for his dad to drive down the street on flat tires. Waited for a week for emergency aid workers to realize he and his family were still on the block.

 

Goals/ Hopes for the Future: James’ life is his daughter. Like every parent, he wants her to have a better life than he does.

Took this shot today out of the cockpit window with my point & shoot en route to Memphis at 35,000 feet. Not a great shot but wanted to show the path of the Tornado through Joplin, Missouri. The band through the center of town is the path of the Tornado. What a powerful weather event.
