"Janis Joplin was absolutely a barnstormer and a complete groundbreaker. She wasn't just a great woman in rock-at the time she was the woman in rock. Janis really created this whole world of possibility for women in music: Without Janis Joplin, there would be no Melissa Etheridge. Without Janis, there would be no Chrissie Hynde, no Gwen Stefani. There would be no one." -Rosanne Cash "[Janis Joplin] perfectly expressed the feelings and yearnings of the girls of the electric generation-to be all woman, yet equal with men; to be free, yet a slave to real love; to [reject] every outdated convention, and yet get back to the basics of life." -Lillian Roxon, rock critic "Joplin belonged to that select group of pop figures who mattered as much for themselves as for their music. Among American rock performers, she was second only to Bob Dylan in importance as a creator-recorder-embodiment of her generation's mythology." -Ellen Wills, rock journalist, "The story of the woman who skyrocketed to fame as the first female rock superstarΒ and left it at a tragically young age--from someone who had a front-row seat."-- New York Post Β "The best book about Janis [Joplin]."--Sam Andrews, Big Brother and the Holding Company "[Cooke] is a gifted writer, letting Joplin's vivaciousness and intensity shine throughout the work."-- Library Journal "Janis Joplin was absolutely a barnstormer and a complete groundbreaker. She wasn't just a great woman in rock--at the time she was the woman in rock.

Synopsis
One of Parade 's Top Ten Rock n' Roll Reads As a road manager and filmmaker, John Byrne Cooke helped run the Janis Joplin show--and record it for posterity. Now he reveals the never-before-told story of his years with the young woman from Port Arthur who would become the first female rock-and-roll superstar. In 1967, as the new sound of rock and roll was taking over popular music, John Byrne Cooke was at the center of it all. As a member of D. A. Pennebaker's film crew, he witnessed the astonishing breakout performances of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival that June. Less than six months later, he became road manager for Janis and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and from then on, Cooke was a constant presence behind the scenes as the woman called Pearl took the world by storm. This intimate memoir spans the years he spent with Janis, from Monterey to Europe, Woodstock and Festival Express. Cooke tells the whole incredible story as only someone who lived it can.
