Janis Joplin was the skyrocket chick of the sixties the woman who broke into the boys club of rock and out of the stifling good-girl femininity of postwar America. With her incredible wall-of-sound vocals Joplin was the voice of a generation and when she ODd on heroin in October 1970 a generations dreams crashed and burned with her. Alice Echols pushes past the legary Joplin-the red-hot mama of her own invention-as well as the familiar portrait of the screwed-up star victimized by the era she symbolized to examine the roots of Joplins muscianship and explore a generations experiment with high-risk living and the terrible price it exacted.. A deeply affecting biography of one of Americas most brilliant and tormented stars Scars of Sweet Paradise is also a vivid and incisive cultural history of an era that changed the world for us all.
