I remember myself when I was a child, in my grandparents' house, with my aunt and my uncle. I remember they were so young and they were 60's and 70's music addicts. Their bedrooms were full of posters of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and I used to cry when I saw their faces on every wall, it scared me!! I grew up listening songs of Big Brother & The holding company because my aunt was always listening to them.
I can remember four walls and a lot of Janis on them. There are still a lot of posters; On the bed there's a giant poster of Janis singing with the eyes closed. There is a paint of the singer, too and a beautiful poster of Janis and her friend Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane.
Years ago there was a giant poster of Jim Morrison, the most famous picture of him. It was scaring.
Sometimes my aunt explain to me how difficult was buy a LP from her favourite bands, and how she and my uncle took the train and went to Barcelona to waste their savings buying Long plays...
And now, at my -almost- seventeen years old I think I am following their steps! I can't get tired of listening Janis or Jefferson Airplane, I feel curiosity and I try to discover more bands and singers: Bob Dylan, The Mamas and the Papas... yes, it's so different the kind of music, but I like it!
But my most special singer is Janis Joplin. It's just amazing her voice and what she could do with it... she took drugs, heroin and weed, but her voice never sound bad!! We can't say she hadn't talent!
