en Old Town became a destination. I would see Janis Joplin dragging her guitar case down the street, Mama Cass on her way to Mother Blues, Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield, who were from Chicago, were here. It was a bohemian atmosphere where you would see people with guitars and long hair, a place where you could fly your freak flag, a carnival that didn't exist anywhere else.

en It is definitely moving into a new direction, ... I feel it will be more raw, more aggressive, more in your face. You can picture Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin -- very gorgeous, strong songs.

en Cody and Luther were kids in high school who used to come to the juke joint and sit in the corner, petrified of interacting. But I didn't look at Junior and R.L. as giant heroes of the blues.

en I have a huge voice, so it's a bit more like a Janis Joplin vibe than a younger rock vibe. And I think that's what throws people because they don't know how to take me. Even critics - they don't know how to swallow me because they're like, 'Well, she came up like a total pop act',
  Kelly Clarkson

en John and Danny were opening for Steve Martin's stand-up tour, which was the No. 1 tour in the world, ... The album they recorded - Briefcase Full of Blues, a great album - was the No. 1 blues album in the world. They were starring on the No. 1 TV show (Saturday Night Live), and John had just starred in the No. 1 movie (Animal House) - which I'd directed.

en When I got hoarse, the manager would say, 'Drink this. Joplin used to drink this,' and I used to say, 'Joplin? Joplin's dead.

en I suppose I'm the side of Janis that people don't know as opposed to the showman ... the singing Janis, the performer, ... It's monologue style.
