Janis Joblin
"Oh, lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz..."
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame er gået i samarbejde med Case Western Reserve University og hylder den afdøde sangerinde med en række arrangementer, der kulminerer med en koncert.
Blandt de mange navne på programmet er Lucinda Williams, Country Joe McDonald, Nona Hendryx, Susan Tedeschi og sangskriveren Bob Neuwirth, som var manden bag "Mercedes Benz" fra Joplins posthume album "Pearl".
Janis Joplin levede det hårde liv, men var pionér på en mandsdomineret rockscene og musikanmelderne var enige om hendes enorme potentiale, men også om, at sangerindens hårde liv kunne ødelægge alt.
Og sådan gik det. Den 4. oktober 1970 døde Joplin af en overdosis heroin, kun 27 år gammel.
