Janis I have always been a huge fan. I turned 70 this past September. I was in Junior high when Society's Child came out. It was a wakeup call to all teens to lead with our hearts. I know very young Janis never planned or expect the attention that song brought, but it was a message that needed to be shared. This rendition on Swananoa is so beautiful. The attition of this beautiful, peaceful town make this song even more special.
What a beautiful homage to the people suffering in North Carolina. We barely made it out of Asheville alive. To all the victims who lost their lives - this is for you, for safe passage to the other side. I had the honor of being at a small concert with Nuala Kennedy in Ireland several years back, and with the legendary Janis Ian - one of my all time favorite artists back in New York 30 years ago when Breaking Silence was released. Thank you, Janis - for all that you are and all that you do. You are DEEPLY loved.
