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.

Do sociopaths ever attempt suicide?
Yes. Sociopaths commit suicide. But, not for the same reason that a non sociopath would. My cousin's son has been professionally diagnosed by paid counselors, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. He committed suicide last week end. Prior to that, he was becoming progressively violent to his family and friends. His girlfriend could no longer accept his physical abuse & began to threaten to leave him. He counter threatened, if you leave me, I'll hang myself with THIS rope. Because a Sociopath has no conscience of right and wrong, they seem to be unable to control their inappropriate and abusive behavior. They also don't seem to have an ability to process or rationalize the consequence of their actions. Therefore, an act to commit suicide doesn't address the sociopath with the same finality it would for a non sociopath. The thought that a suicide and the consequences of carrying that suicide out, wouldn't occur to a sociopath. It wouldn't occur to him or even bother him if he could think about it, that this action is a final action and there are no 'do overs'. For a Sociopath, this is an act to control, hurt and destroy. It is not an act of depression but rather of rage.
Did Janis joplin know Jim Morrison?
Yes, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin met on several occasions. Doors producer Paul Rothchild also produced Joplin's "Pearl" album and thought it would be a good idea for them to meet. Rothchild took Morrison to a party Joplin was at and at first they seemed to be hitting it off until Morrison got really drunk and he pulled Joplin's head down into his crotch. Rothchild rushed Morrison out to a car to leave and Joplin chased them out to the car and hit Morrison over the head with a bottle of Southern Comfort.
