Musical Monday - Janis Ian



Janis Ian - Seventeen


Genius. The world just wasn't ready for her.
Maybe it still isn't.
Maybe it still isn't.

You have this. If you don't have this, don't tell me.

really
wanted to know)

    I do have "this!" Well, OK, I don't have the 45 anymore, but I do have the LP. Agree, she was ahead of her time, especially when she first broke with "Society's Child" in the '60s. Then, with the exception of "At Seventeen," she was sorely overlooked when the "singer/songwriter" era came along.

  2. I agree completely. She's quite a fine interview now too. Saw her book promo last year. Quite a gal.

    Wait until you see this spot NEXT week.
