Janis Joplin Singers Quotations

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.

I started out to be a person on the street, just like everybody else. I didn't start out to be a singer. But I got sort of swept up in this singing thing, and after I got involved in it it got really important to me if I was good or not.

Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
