Studs Terkel: I gotta ask the cliched question about the blues being a black man's music.
Janis Joplin: Anybody can sing the blues. Well, I don't know whether they can sing them or not, but they can feel them. Everybody's got feelings inside of them. It's just the faculty of being able to transform it into music. I mean, everybody's got 'em. Everybody's got those things, they've just got to know what to do with it. You either repress it or you use it. Sort of. I feel better after singing, yeah.
