Janis Joplin: Janis
Mark Williams, International Times, 9 May 1969
JANIS WAS WANDERING round rapping and goofing with her band when I ventured onstage during her pre-concert rehearsal at the Albert Hall. She was obviously nervous dashing from one cat to another, laughing, shouting and gesticulating wildly, which one might expect from an artist who is expected, as a result of massive publicity and repute, to be a super star.
