Songs of my youth – that made a difference

Janis Ian was a girl of something like 16 when “Society’s Child” was released in the mid 60’s.

Or should I say a woman with more balls than I have. She spoke of fear for her life performing this song even in safe places like New York City.

To add to her bravery, she was one of the first stars to admit to being gay (or lesbian, as the case may be.) She is one of my heroes.

Thank you, Janis.
