September 27, 2013 - 08:31 AM
PBS Digital Studios have created a series of hand-drawn animations to accompany classic interviews with worthy personages; here is their accompaniment to Janis Joplin’s final interview, recorded four days before her death. It is a poignant, bitter and defiant speech on rejection, self-determination, gender and self-worth.
“In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn’t like me. It’s silly.”
- Janis Joplin
Interview by Howard Smith
September 30, 1970. By phone
