Who’s to blame for the death of Janis Joplin?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the Rock and Roll legend Janis Joplin and her untimely death at the young age of 27. Joining what would later be called the 27 Club. Bullied relentlessly in her youth and then celebrated for her raw and wild artistry in young adulthood, Janis rose to fame and died in only 4 short years. Did fame come too fast? Could a particularly potent batch of heroin be to blame? Or maybe she was looking for love in all the wrong places. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
