Still love the music JJ and Big Brother put out.
My favorite was their version of “Summertime”.

I even like the typo above the video:

I grew up with that.

I couldn’t then and I still cannot now see the point of it.

Sorry, Janis. I liked some of our stuff. But you were only a druggie.

JJ— the pride of Beaumont, Tx. Well, not really. She was the best of the raspy voiced female blues rock artists of all time. Not even Kim Carnes (Betty Davis Eyes) comes close.
You young’uns allow us old geezers to reminisce some.

“Sorry, Janis. I liked some of our stuff. But you were only a druggie”

...yep, that’s the bottom line....alcohol and drugs ran her life until they killed her...I don’t see her as a great artist at all...just a sad derelict.

My God...she looked 40 when she was 26.I've often wondered what the 60's (the greatest music decade ever) would have been like without all the stuff they were smokin',shootin',snortin' and poppin'.

It's pretty clear that she was neither clean nor sober during *this* performance.But it's still *great* stuff.

I saw her at a rock festival in Lewisville, Tx back in the day. She sang “Piece of My Heart” for thirty minutes. Short, sad life, but boy could she sing.
