    Oct 22 2025
    Janis Joplin: I Met a Girl Who Sang the Blues Immortalized in songs, films and musicals, Janis Joplin burned bright in a brief career. The manner of her untimely death—though not wrapped in the same confusion as some others in 'The 27 Club'—nonetheless continues to raise questions. Join Dr. Clarke as he delves into the life and demise of 'the girl who sang the blues' (a nod to Don McLean). #janisjoplin #jimmorrison #haightashbury #stevemiller #woodstock #montereypop #mercedesbenz #crime #music #podcast #seriousrocktalk #donmaclean #americanpie #jimihendrix #losangeles
