I love Janis Joplin and still play her music! Yes, Janis Jopplin and Peter de Blanc were lovers. March 1 at Manhattan's Swann Galleries offered bidders a piece of Joplin's heart. Of the 64 letters that went on the block, 48 were sold, for a total of $109,710. The letters were written to her then-boyfriend, Peter de Blanc, over the summer and autumn of 1965 when Joplin, already a veteran of the cafés and hootenannies of San Francisco and New York City, returned home to Austin, Texas, to "refocus." Written in a neat, precise hand on a variety of paper sheaves, the letters were penned exactly a year before she headed to San Francisco - and fame and destruction.
