New Janis Joplin biopic

1. I hope they read Dick Cavett's "Newsday" piece on her, she really wanted to be a blues singer. This I might contribute as hearsay from a Professor Diamond: Back in the late sixties his mom went into real estate in the Catskills. She was showing a house, and lo and behold, it was Jimi Hendrix there and a Janis Joplin look-a-like she said. They were a little mad, the house wasn't supposed to be visited. It's probably the one in the film with the two small gables. I might have spied him in a sidewalk cafe in Woodstock, NY, 1968, when I worked at camp Timber Lake near Phoenicia, NY as a dishwasher, Bob Dylan and the Band had a "pink" place too. One of the "Fugs" lives up there, recently translated some new-found poetry of Sappho's might help.
