The chemistry between these two. Such a sense of respect, friendship and both are funny alone or when together. Cavett definitely had an attraction to Janis, and Janis flirted with him always because of it.
I read the same thing…that she cracked a southern comfort bottle over his head. That made me laugh….Morrison needed a bottle broken over his head to knock some sense into him. I never liked him or his music so I was happy to learn that Janis clunked him over the head. Excellent!
Morrison was warned she is a firecracker but was smitten by her.Morrison was always calm and collected till that one beer too many set him off and it did and he started pulling her hair and SMASH.But Morrison always wanted to meet her again Janis thought Morrison was a creep.
@@STRONGMAN415 Leonard Cohen wrote “Chelsea Hotel No. 2” about her. She had dalliances with Peter Coyote and Kris Kristofferson, whose “Me and Bobby McGee” she covered. She slept with Joe Namath, of all people, and possibly, George-Warren suggests, with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Dick Cavett.Oct 25, 2019
I have the same personality type, but a different dysfunctional family personality disorder! Love her! She reminds me of Calamity Jane as a queen of prose! A very rare flower! 💖💖💖💕💕💕 We need so much more reality in our country!
I totally agree. One of the greatest interviewers ever. Also, this is the second interview I've watched with them. I think Dick was totally enamored with her. I can imagine he was devastated when she died.
alagogo I met a blond pretty woman with big boobs. I married her. She cheated in 7 yrs and broke my heart. I met a plain woman with small boobs later. We have been together over 20 yrs. Sweet is better.
Me either. After educating myself about her, she doesn't look a thing like I had imagined. I was still a baby when she left this world. After seeing these interviews, I honestly don't know why people called her ugly. She was by far not ugly inside or outside. She was, from what I have seen and read, beautiful. Natural beauty. She didn't wear or need a ton of makeup. She didn't need it.
Janis Joplin is just so amazingly charming and open here and in the other Cavett interviews. It is her great advantage over so many women singers that her openness is the power driving her great talent. I wish so much that she had lived years longer. I did not have a TV at the time, so these interviews are all I have to see her at her candid best. Thanks to Dick Cavett for being perceptive enough to gather so many wonderful talented people for his shows.
I have always loved this lady! She died at 27 years old and her talent is great,y missed. She was a troubled soul who people loved and she never thought she was worthy..
Janis grew up in a middle class ultra conservative neighborhood in Texas during the time of the upswing of the Civil Rights movement. She was completely out of place because she more pro civil rights while surrounded by racist white anti civil rights townspeople. She was bullied a lot for her more liberal attitude.
A beautiful lady whom considered herself unattractive and cause of that she never tried to show herself precious ...but she was gourgeus...so sorry she never knew!
So cool to see Janis being her down to Earth self, just talking, laughing and playin" around with DC. It's sad knowing that she was to leave this world a short time after the Dick Cavett interview. She was a sweetheart, the yellow rose of Port Arthur, Texas
She has a good personality. But I think there’s a lot of girls who have similar personalities around still. She seems fun. Or at least in a good mood. I’m guessing she was moody or depressed.
This is almost exactly TWO MONTHS before she died on Oct. 4th 1970. If I had a choice of women, I'd choose Janis hands down. She's got soul. Love you, baby girl, wherever you are.
I've never seen an interview before where both participants seem to enjoy each other's company like old friends with a little something else in the air - everything looks and sounds so natural.
Well she didn't have confidence.. and you know bullies in school.. and obviously later on she didn't take care of herself.. but a lot of her late 60s persona was an attempt to compensate for that negative treatment she had received and so people would like her.
They play off each other so well ( hippie - square ).Hard to watch in some ways knowing what's to come but at the same time it's nice to see her relaxed and enjoying herself . She reveals herself when she says it's hard to talk to someone when they don't seem to understand what your saying. Cavett seems to get how vulnerable she is beneath the surface and makes her feel safe rather than peppering her with cliched questions that would have put her on the defensive. Kudos to Cavett. I'm sure he took her passing very hard.
They like to flirt. She trusts him in that he's not trying to set her up to demean her. Anytime the conversation could take an awkward turn, he knows to get out of it and relax her being a goof.
Those were the days for sure. I'm so glad I grew up in that era! People were real, you can walk down the streets and not fear for your life. No gangs no BS, good music just a great Vibe all the way around.
Now it's all S***, and the rap industry has ruined our nation and how we interact with one another. Now we're all judged by our looks and how we act, it's a sad world out there.
@@TheImpures The Vietnam thing got labeled to the hippie movement over a short period of time. People like Mario Savio at the Berkley University 1964 was part of the original Vietnam/free speech movement. Most of the Hippies came from prominent families as well as being Army brats (Parents were in the army) and believed the Hippie movement was at first used to unleash LSD to the public. As MKultra experiment came to light years later. Just stuff I have read and researched. JMO....Peace.
I agree it was safer, but it was still in many ways the same. There was Manson and his murders, the Vietnam War, assassinations of JFK AND MLK JR, gangs were very present and dangerous, drugs were killing thos nations soul, and God was just a decoration of the Cross around their necks . Yet, it was a safer time. It was a time where Jesus was referenced in schools, professional sports, work and homes, and He was welcomed and worshipped. Thst even the worst gangs didn't kill innocent people just to kill them. Where there was no mass shootings, no blatant and open violence on a scale that is mind boggling in its scope today.. I speak of the USA. So it was a better country, because then the majority lof people loved God, and openly proclaimed Him the risen Lord. safer. Today, if you speak of Jesus your invariably made to feel uncomfortable, and not too subtly told to shut up about God. Today, being a liar, a thug, a violent person is infinitely more comfortable for millions to deal with then to hear about our Lord Jesus. Janis in her time heard of Jesus weekly, and saw people worship Him as a norm. We have more people now, but the human heart then as now has not changed. Only through Jesus can we become alive, the one constant in the human experience is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Ah, Mr. Cavett surely had a crush on Janis. ;-D I love how confused she is when he asks her if she has a water ski. She was really cute in my opinion so I don't understand why so many people thought (and think) that she's ugly. And although she appears to be a bit boozed here she was clean at the time, according to her tour manager John Cooke. She died because the concentration of heroin was much too high and she wasn't accustomed to it like before (at least that's what I heard).
It was exactly that, she had gotten herself clean and the story as I understand it was she was supposed to meet with her boyfriend at the time but he never showed and Janice went into a depression feeling snubbed by him and went and got some heroin that was a much higher concentration that she could handle since she had been clean and off the stuff and it caused her to overdose. RIP Pearl you will always be the greatest!
I was 16 when she died...her death jagged my heart...I was living in her even I didn't understand a word of what she was singing...She was my voice, my tripes my soul...48 years after her death, I still can cry when I listen to her...crying over me....
just now seeing your comment in summer 2022, and feeling such a resonance with what you're saying; i cry too; it's a vibrational symbiosis we're feeling - we LOVE this Life that is expressing what is in the soul of us.... She is expressing the deepest, most authentic depth of our true humanity, don't you think?
Janis had such a quick mind. I loved her fashion just do it" don't care attitude. Plus her fast sense of humour! She was so adorable in this interview here. I loved those oversized Granny glasses ....the Limo sounds so cool,psychedelic like John Lennons. I love how she peppers her sentences with yeah man" so funny now,charming & cute. She actually acts interested & not bored with Cavetts stories! What a trooper! I thought she was attractive,not in the traditional way...but something about her drew me in....had me hooked!!! I miss you GIRL JANIS JOPLIN RIP SWEET DREAMS NOW TO A RESTLESS SPIRIT ALWAYS A GREAT BLUES SONGSTRESS!! 😇😇😇😇😎😎😎😪😪😪😢😢😢😢😢😢✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😝🔮🔮🔮🔮LOVED YOU AS JANIS NOT THE SUPERSTAR THE WOMAN WITH A HEART THAT GOT BROKEN ONCE TOO OFTEN LIKE HER HEROES SHE WORSHIPPED XXXXXX
"A once in a lifetime gift that due to electronic media we are fortunate to share and for those of us who were there it captures the moments we were too busy living to take notice they were important...'
I lost my first stereo to this woman. My brother warned me about blaring her music from my stereo one more time. Well, I did. He smashed my turntable, my Pearl album all to hell with his fist. I miss that brother. I hope he met Janis in heaven, lol. I hope she gave him hell for that.
She and many others like her died for no reason other than the pain and fear of rejection! People are so hateful they love to make someone feel unwanted!
Such a talent in my opinion the best female rock blues artist ever a rare talent with a rare unique voice there will never be another Janis Joplin so sad her life ended so young. I'm 43 and heard her on TV in my 20s have immediately bought her greatest hits CD obsessed every since I love old school rock,rhythm and blue's the best especially the 60s,70,and 80s.💔 ❤️
@@curtiskretzer8898 that was her first band, after she split from them she formed 'Kosmic Blues 'and then Full Tilt Boogie. Only one member from BigBrother stayed all the way with her, Sam Andrew.
Janice seems to be exhausted and over worked here. The Drugs and Alcohol got her through. She along with all the other amazing talent like Hendrix, Morrison and Winehouse etc. were too sensitive and could not handle the fame. It must be a slippery slope. Janice had soul and spirit and it came out in her voice. Love Her
I love her, she was very beautiful and I love her personality. May she rest in peace such a beautiful soul with a beautiful voice. Me and her would have been best friends!
I never really bothered listening to her sing much less listening talk or interviewed ... WOW I missed the boat !! she is really great !!! live and learn!!
Rip JanisYou are missed shout out from Hollywood California. Right by sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd . Your words touched many people. An inspiration for many . Love absolutely love your music 🎶🎶.
