RIP — Janis Joplin (1943-1970)

Janis Joplin passed away 38 years ago today of an accidental heroin overdose.  She was found dead in her room at the Landmark Hotel in Hollywood, California. It’s rumored that she had $4 in her hand, the change she received from her dealer for the aforementioned heroin. A sad end to one of the most influential rock icons and faces of the 1960′s.

Here she is in 1970 in Toronto singing “Kozmic Blues”.
