44. I reread the paragraph...
.... I guess it was the "trying to keep up with us" part that rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think she was trying to "keep up with us", I think she was trying to "keep ahead of herself".

Either way, I also love Janis and thought she was a great talent. Sure, not everything about the way she sang was 100% original, almost nothing ever is.

What she brought was real passion, a real willingness to bare it all.

I sure cannot think of a contemporary vocalist who is popular who comes close IMHO...
