Janis Joplin

Holding Company

Big Brother and the Holding Company. An example of a Holding Company in real life would be Stone and Webster, who managed a number of power utilities, infrastructure, etc. a sort of held company or captive firm would be Western Electric- the manufacturing and supply arm of the Bell System. I do not know if they are still in existence, since the Phone Companies were forcibly diversified. so that"s it Big Brother and the Holding Co.
