Janis arrives at Woodstock ‘69

Speaking of Woodstock . . . 

Janis Joplin and her crew arrived at the Woodstock Festival by helicopter on August 16, 1969. They had to be picked up from their motel due to the huge traffic jam caused by the massive attendance at the festival. Janis felt dizzy and nervous seeing the huge number of people from the helicopter. Despite wanting to perform immediately, she had to wait for about 10 hours backstage and watch the performances with her partner Peggy Caserta before going on stage in the early hours of August 17.

 

I mean you knew Janis swung both ways right? . . . .not really a confirmed out n out lesbian but definitely bi-sexual she was in a strong relationship with Peggy Caserta seen here at their arrival at the festival. It is said Caserta was also a dope dealer but I have my doubts the biography Going Down with Janis, I have mentioned before and it is largely rubbish but that Caserta was a confirmed gay woman is a given and Janis’ predilection for mixing it up with men as well drove the relationship with Peggy to a final end, sadly ending in Janis death and Caserta’s addiction  issues (the reason for the dreadful book) . . . .a sad story but these were happier times! 

Aaaah Woodstock!
