Janis Joplin was a deeply committed, electrifying soul singer who took no prisoners and left everything on stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She died at 27, failing like so many other sons and daughters of rock’n’roll, to negotiate the treacherous reef that exists out there in the sea of sellout.<\/p>\n

But at least the girl lived. A couple of years before this gutsy woman went over the edge, she bought a pearl white Porsche 356 Cabriolet. And soon the car was transformed into a rolling canvas upon which she would have inscribed her whacked out world view.<\/p>\n

According to those in the know the car and its tripped out paint job was a fixture on the streets of San Francisco and had legions of hippie acolytes crowding round wherever she parked. It’s hardly surprising.<\/p>\n

On the rear right 3\/4 there’s the sun, which represented to Janis her Capricorn sign. The two heads, meanwhile, on the engine cover were supposed to represent everyman. There’s a flower and butterfly-adorned ‘Eye of God’ of course, on the hood. The right hand side of the car represents meanwhile a typically verdant California valley – and down the left are images that evoke her band Big Brother and the Holding Company.<\/p>\n

Who knows how Janis and her flower children friends would feel about the car fetching gazillions at auction?<\/p>\n

We love Janis and her way of being in the world: what is a car supposed to be if it’s not an expression of your personality?<\/strong><\/p>\n
