Janis Joplin and Some Liquid Courage
When Janis Joplin showed up at Woodstock ’69, she was startled at the massive crowd gathered on the ground. So much so that she couldn’t sit still long enough to address the reporters who approached her. And having to endure a long wait before getting up on stage likely didn’t help her nerves.
But Joplin took matters into her own hands by relying on what appears to be wine for courage. And here, she looked confident and stylish in her tie-dye print dress and crossed legs. But Joplin must have had one too many cups because she had some trouble hitting the right notes while singing on stage.
