lzfan715 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I didn't hear about a screening of that. It sounds like a great time. Maybe they'll do that here, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 They love to hate the pin up one too. They are just pictures, I don't really see them as a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 THE JANIS PHOTO SQUARES LOVE TO HATE!! :) It's easy to forget that, when photos similar that were first released, they caused such a stir. I imagine that, in some circles, they still do. They love to hate the pin up one too. They are just pictures, I don't really see them as a big deal. I agree with you but people who didn't care for (in some cases even despised) rockers and their fans didn't see it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I can see with the Miley Cirus thing, since she's 15. Big Brother and the holding Company was not full of 15 year olds. You can't see anything that bad. I will say that the story behind that photo shoot is really funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 It doesn't bother me that people that I go to church with look down on me. I know that they do, I'm going to continue being who I am. Just as the rest of that generation should, no matter what anyone says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Who even uses the term "squares" anymore? Well, besides Huey Lewis and Dragster. As for the Miley Virus thing it was nothing more than a publicity stunt to drum up interest in her post Hannah Montana image. It was just as orchestrated as Janet Jackson's so-called "wardrobe malfunction" at the Super Bore several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I say "squares". Even if it was pubilicity stunt, they should have thought up something better for a 15 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanx for comparing me with Huey...I suppose some terms stick with me a lot.....I just love the sound of that term....it tells it like it is!! m:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm almost 15, and even if I was famous I wouldn't do something like that. It's different with the Cheap Thrills, they were older and the times were different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different with the Cheap Thrills, they were older and the times were different. Are you referring to the folks in the photo above? If so, I thought they were Big Brother and the Holding Company and that Cheap Thrills was the name of one of their records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Description Big Brother occupies a significant place in the history of San Francisco psychedelic rock, as one of the bands that best captured the era`s loosest, reckless, and indulgent qualities in its high-energy mutations of blues and folk-rock. Big Brother are primarily remembered as the group that gave Janis Joplin her start, but that is not the whole story. There are not many Big Brother gigs featuring Janis on tape. The music on Disc 2 has been released in various forms by less than reputable record labels, although it is presented here in its first official release. Disc 1 is the Holy Grail for Big Brother fans. 12 unreleased tracks presented here for the first time, recently discovered by the surviving members of Big Brother. Not only is the sound pristine, the performances show remarkable maturity for a group developing their trademark sound at hyperspeed. Back in '66 right after Janis joined the band, Big Brother & The Holding Company were habitually blowing people`s minds; each and every time they performed in front of an audience.

chef free Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Have any of you Janis fans heard LP? She's a rock n roll suburban dyke daughter of an opera teacher and her voice RIPS!!!! She did the theme song for the third season of South of Nowhere it's called Wasted. Check her out at http://www.lprock.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragster Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think that Janis had such tremendous potential. Just a shame her life ended so abruptly. The sky would have been the limit for her. I dont feel the same way for Morrison I must say. Joplin had one of those rare great blues type voices that who knows what she could have done. She should have sang for Hendrix. Hell, god only knows what Jimmi would have done too, but the man had no voice, lets face it. With him on guitar and Janis singing, you would have had something great. Well, to say Jimi had no voice is like swearing, but yeaah, Janis on vocals and Jimi on guitar would have been AWESOME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
