Through Deborah Landau’s narrative, her stage presence—raspy shouts, melodic tenderness, and restless energy—becomes a metaphor for emotional freedom.

Life And Times  \nBy Deborah Landau  \nCALL ME PEARL  \nJanis Joplin was undoubtedly the greatest white femaleblues singer of her generation.But her death of anoverdose of drugs destroyed more than a rare talent.For in her abandoned all-outness,Janis Joplin alsoembodied the emotional aspirations of a generation.  \nShe leaves behind a contradictory recollection of anaggressively shy,coarsely sweet,belligerently vulnera-ble child-woman who wore jangling bracelets,kookydresses and floppy hats—and who almost literally sangher heart out.Her loss is numbing.For beyond beinga great artist,she taught us how to feel.  \nBut she often got weary along the way.In a last inter-view she announced she didn't like the name.Janisanymore.“I'm sick and tired of it,\"she said.“Callme Pearl.”  \n# JANIS

into the microphone.\"Let yourself go andyou'll be more than you ever thought of being.”  \nOf all the names made famous by the San Franciscomusic explosion of 1968,hers was probably the greatest.Janis Joplin,that hard-singing,hard-living,hard-drinking,hard-loving little mama whose abandoned all-outness em-bodied the emotional aspirations of a generation.JanisJoplin was the idea of emotional freedom made flesh,theglory of the uninhibited and unbridled.Once seen,she wasunforgettable.  \nStanding before her rapt audience,microphone in hand,long hair flailing,her raspy voice shrieking in mournfulrock mutations of black country blues gone electric,sheis energized by her music and so,in turn,are we.She isplugged into the mike,and the audience is plugged intoher,as she flashes out waves of electrical excitement,bringing bodies to life,to dancing,to loving,to orgasm.It was as if she had been wound up,very tightly,and wasunwinding very fast,spinning.All the released energy wasflowing out to us and into us and back to her to becharged up again,another swig and keep it going,yeah,never-ceasing energy,never runs out,guaranteed to lastas long as both parties continue the inflow-outflow cycle.  \nHead thrown back,pellets of sweat would stream fromher contorted face and glitter under the beam of footlights.She came across as hot,temperamental,impulsive.Shemoaned and crooned,but mostly she shrieked—to thedespair of her mother back in Texas who asked her,\"Janis,why do you scream like that when you've got sucha pretty voice?”  \nJanis had been shrieking for as long as anyone could  \nremember.Sam Gordon,her music publisher,said thatthe first song he ever sent her was a Jesse Winchester tunecalled“Quiet About It.”It was a religious song and Janissaid she couldn't use it:\"I can't talk to my God quietly.”She couldn't have held back because she wouldn't havethought of it.What would be the point—then she wouldn’tbe Janis.\"I'd rather not sing than sing quiet,\"she oncesaid.  \nBut she could sing soft,and there's a difference.Likein“Summertime.”Gentle.\"No,no,no,baby,don't youcry.\"Her voice strains with agony,love.  \nThat voice,aged in Southern
