Janis Joplin Interview Snippet
Dick Cavett Show 1969 – ABC TV

Dick Cavett:
Not Bad. Well here we are together again at last by popular demand. How are you? Anyway it’s good to see ya. Hey, why is it? I was thinking about it the other day, there aren’t very many of you. By this I mean. No. No I mean. Superstar rock ladies like yourself uh…

Janis Joplin:
I don’t know why. I always wondered because it seems so natural to me. But ummm…I don’t know its not feminine maybe that’s why. I mean to get down and really get into music. Get on the bottom side of the music instead of floating around on the top like most sing, chick singers do. I think they “oooh oooh oooh” on the top of the melody instead of getting into the feeling of the music
