{"product_id":"scars-of-sweet-paradise","title":"Scars Of Sweet Paradise","description":"The undisputed queen of sex, drugs and rock n' roll was also the voice of a generation who, when she overdosed on heroin at the age of twenty-seven in October 1970; became the posthumous icon of bad girl femininity for millions around the world.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Drawing on hundreds of interviews Echols renders Joplin in all her complexity, revealing how this sweet-voiced girl from Texas recreated herself, first as a gravely-voiced bluesy folksinger, and then as rock n' roll's first female superstar. Echols examines the roots of her musicianship and her efforts to probe the outer limits of life; declaring herself the first white-black person and pursuing sex with men and women alike. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Moving from the electric ballrooms of San Francisco to the mud-soaked fields of Woodstock, Joplin's story is also a chronicle of the revolutions of the sixties - a generation's experiment with high-risk living and the exacting price they ultimately paid for this. Written in a captivating novel-like style this is a deeply affecting biography of one of America's most talented, tormented and enduring stars.","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42513075634347,"sku":"","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/products\/1_c2800e66-b3b9-4e2c-85c8-41ed757006b8.jpg?v=1675940240","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/scars-of-sweet-paradise","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
