How did a very young messed up woman, a drug addict filled with doubt, become in a few years a planetary icon of rock music?
Janis Joplin went from the shadows to the blinding light of fame in only four records (the last one issued a month and a half after her tragic death). Thanks to a worldwide movement of emancipation which would consecrate for a long time the ideals and modes of alternative lifestyles from counterculture to the flower power generation, Janis, the ugly duckling, gave free rein to her impulses.
Joplin left for San Francisco, the epicenter of cultural innovation, where she lived a freedom of which she would hardly have dared to dream, abandoning herself to all impulses, overcoming without hesitation all the taboos of the time: bisexuality, alcohol, drugs, doing so not only with delight, but with the taste for excess which came naturally from her spontaneous character.

1st printing. By Rob Reiner with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre, the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his cowriters and costars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious band-how they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer provide the backstories to the movie's famous lines-among them "Hello, Cleveland!," "None more black," "You can't dust for vomit," and "These go to eleven"-and to such Tap anthems as "Big Bottom" and "Stonehenge." Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia, and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever will delight Tap-heads of all ages-just as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theaters. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, PC. Cover price $35.00.
