The Spirit of San Francisco

Perhaps no one epitomizes the spirit of San Francisco more than Janis -- child of the conservative south, outcast, dispossessed. She traveled west and found a stage to play out her internal drama.

Like her, so many in this city come from small points across the country. They, too, have sought their stages -- some in private, some in public, some succeeding, others failing to tame their own dark souls.

Count yourself blessed to see this goddess sing.
