To see Janis progress from tragic teen to a warm, smiling, FULL human is to see my own voyage. We all were so young....and so screwed up. The series of assassinations in our teens of famous leaders did not help us all very much either. Those of us who did survive the drugs, Vietnam war and suicidal emotions are now actually happy...even joy filled. Hey, Janis...you made it. ”

I grew up listening to Janis Ian. Her music spoke to me during my troubled teens and stills speaks to me today. When I met her it took everything in my power not to give her a big hug. Although I feel as though I've known her my whole life, she has no clue who I am. The last thing I wanted her to think was that I was some crazed fan. She is a brilliant writer and artist. If you want words to speak to you, listen to Janis. ”
