It is a stunning panorama of the turbulent decade when Joplin's was the rallying voice of a generation that lost itself in her music and found itself in her words.From her small hometown of Port Arthur, Texas, to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, from the intimate coffeehouses to the supercharged concert halls, from the glitter of worldwide fame to her tragic end in a Hollywood hotel, here is all the fire and anguish of an immortal, immensely talented, and troubled performer who devoured everything the rock scene had to offer in a fatal attempt to make peace with herself and her era. Electrifying, highly acclaimed, and intensely personal, this new and updated version of Myra Friedman's classic biography of Janis Joplin teems with dramatic insights into Joplin's genius and into the chaotic times that catapulted her to fame as the legendary queen of rock. Yet, in an eloquent introduction recently written by the author, Joplin emerges from her "ugly duckling" chil
"One of the best books about a rock figure thus farBuried Alive is unquestionably an accomplishment and it may well be the best portrait we'll have of Janis -- and past even that, it seems a study of the motivations of stardom as true as one is likely to achieve.I'd take Buried Alive over Norman Mailer's metaphysical Marilyn any day!" -- Rolling Stone"Brilliant, marvelous, emotionally devastatingI don't think there's anything about Janis the book leaves untouched.I can almost hear her speak and, more relevantly, hear her laugh." -- New York Daily News"Written with a sympathetic intelligence, at times fiercely lyrical, Buried Alive is an honest book about Joplin the idol.This is the best book yet about rock."
basically I bought this as research after I saw the very fine documentary, "Little Girl Blue space cowboy I'm a Janis fan. Not a fanatic, not a rock music guru, but a fan. basically I bought this as research after I saw the very fine documentary, "Little Girl Blue." I'm still a hundred pages short of the end and I can't believe it's not over yet. This feels like perhaps the longest book I've ever tried to complete. and I'm a very fast reader. The author undoubtedly knew Janis pretty well, and it's interesting to read about their relationship, the intimate context of the life and times of Janis and her band(s)-and the author's feelings about Janis. But sadly It seems like no one edited this book. It's unbearably clunky and indulgently . Insider View of Janis NYC Lap Swimmer A terrific first-hand account from Janis's agent. I left off one star because if you are doing research, and you need a definitive source for comments or events, just know that Friedman does not always make them clear. Having said that, this book is a "good read," especially for fans.. Amazon Customer said Four Stars. An excellent trip down memory lane.
