Janis Joplin in Room 105,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Elvis said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "You can't know another man's struggles 'til you've walked a mile in the shoes." Well, I have been walking for miles and miles in Janis Joplin's shoes and also the only person I've gotten to know better is myself.
Janis Joplin epitomized creative freedom because she and her musicians weren't confined by musical style or the have to be successful. The counter culture of San Francisco within the late 60s was the fertile ground that grew a lot of wild artists trying to find truth and meaning through creative expression, not fame. Janis wanted to transcend her physical and nervous boundaries when she was onstage. She and Your government weren't about being perfect, these were about being present. These were about, like the bop in jazz that proceeded them, finding yourself in as soon as; creating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stretching, bending and thrusting the moment forward or holding it back, the liberty of trusting the connection.
Janis has educated me in to not perform, but to act. To play with each consonant and tone to find more shades of feeling as the lyrics or the monologue hang like ripe fruit to choose. She has educated me in to be really in control, and also to be comfortable naked before an audience. Janis has taught me to prevent worrying about what everyone else on that stage is doing and just sing, sing like I've little else left.
"Freedom's yet another word for free left to lose." Kris Kristofferson gave that, or pinned that, to Janis Joplin. I get to reside that after I hop on stage to channel her. I recieve to live her uncompromised adoration for inner freedom. And I've discovered that the only place to find it is in my heart.
I am a born and bred New Yorker who cut my teeth being an African drummer, and worked my way through the ranks of jazz, emulating Milt Jackson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Max Roach and Thelonius Monk on the various instruments. I knew I wanted, needed, to climb Mount Everest, and being Janis is the fact that challenge.
To my surprise, I've a lot more that is similar to Janis Joplin than I knew. She loved to see, and discuss everything she read and experienced just like a Sophist. She'd discipline when it came to her art. She began as a painter, however when she discovered that her voice moved people, riled people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], impressed people, she honed it like a Callas. She loved the Chili at Barney's Beanery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cheap hotels and cheap shoes. Men,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], women and sex. She laughed all the time, in spite of her pain, insecurities and innate seriousness. (Her cackle is legendary, and her sister says she developed it to bother the kids who bullied her in school.) She wouldn't let anyone define her, and she abhorred labels.
I also now have some of her closest friends in common: Donny Hoyt, Peggy Casserta and Dave Archer. They aren't my buddies like they were Janis', however they have solved the problem find Janis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and also have shared such fabulous and intimate stories with Gigi Gaston and I, that I feel Janis' love and blessing, in bringing her to West Hollywood. Janis' world can't ever be repeated, and i'm so lucky which i happen to be contained in the oral telling of it.
Obviously the greatest American artists were her palette; Big Mamma Thorton, Jimmy Johnson, Lead belly, Odetta, Jack Kerouac and so a lot more, but after imitating and studying them, she allowed her ears, her soul, to experience off James Gurly's guitar and transform into something no one had ever heard before.
In studying Janis and her influences, I was amazed through the personal discoveries I made about the evolution of her style. I personally use those secrets of open and let her out inside of me so I do not have to imitate her -- in order to improvise as though I'm channeling her. It's a phenomenal freedom she's given me. I am so grateful to Janis Joplin for the master class in becoming present with heart and balls.
I've also learned to like California as she did, and I see her here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Venice, West Hollywood, and of course in Frisco. I realize the way it gave her the area and acceptance to grow herself, even though Port Arthur, Texas, molded her. Janis really loved Texas, and her family, but like Sal Paradise in Kerouac's On the highway, she was, "mad to live, mad to talk, mad to become saved, desirous of all things simultaneously." Janis was also mad to become loved, and that's really why she had to depart Texas and hitch to California like a "regular old beatnik on the highway." If she'd lived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she would happen to be mad to like herself, and that's where we are available in.

Sophie B. played a festival in Rockford, Illinois in 2010. Turnout was light, but this lady gave it everything she had - she played to a light crowd as though she was playing to a packed house and was absolutely phenomenal. I definitely got a "Joplinesque" vibe from her and can only imagine how amazing this musical should be together with her channeling The Pearl. Sadly, LA is really a looonnnggg way from Rockford, Illinois. I hope they film it and make it available because I would definitely function as the first one out of line to purchase it.
