Who's Janis?

"No one's ever got up and danced and dug it. No ones ever done anything there and they did it, man! They fuckin got up and grooved, and then they listened. That was dynamite. You know you could. When they are really being selfish and they just wanna dance, but they worked, man, and when I'd do a soft song everybodyd shut up! That's too much, man. That's really too fuckin much."
