The below answer is very ignorant. Janis Joplin was not just a "crazy hippie that did loads...of drugs"; she was also a feminist, pacifist, and equal rights activist. She was a product of her time, meaning that since she was of the 1960s, and believed strongly in the hippie counterculture movement, she experimented and became addicted to drugs. However, her music is often interpreted as feminist. Good examples are the songs "Ball and Chain" and "Woman Left Lonely. They portray women as men's tools of lust and misuse and push women to stop being held down by their man. Listen to them yourselves and interpret them your way.
