Title: A solid behavioral profile within the context of the times.
Product review: Echols provides rich and detailed insights into the motivations and behaviors of Janis Joplin. Her interviews with Joplin's friends, associates, and lovers, adds a complexity and understanding as to why this great talent was so self-destructive. Echols does all of this with a historian's need to place the events within their context...the 60's. I came away with a better understanding of this cohort. Myra Friedman's book pales in comparision.
