Highland Gardens
Former Location –
On October 4, 1970 at the age of 27, Janis Joplin overdosed on heroin in room 105 of what was then the Landmark Hotel. She had been partying the previous night at the Troubadour and Barney’s Beanery.
The room in which Janice spent her final hours can still be rented. The closet contains a small brass plaque that commemorates her life, and the walls are heavily decorated with fan art and writings to her and about her.
On the day she was found, she had failed to show up for a scheduled recording session at Sunset Sound Recorders where she was supposed to lay down vocals for a song. The session she was supposed to attend was to record vocals for a song titled Buried Alive in the Blues. That track was later released — but only as an instrumental, given her death before vocals could be completed.

Love of My LIfe
She sings to me to this day, listen to her lyrics, she says babe, but often she says Bear. Move Over, Turtle Blues, and others. She was a tough, wonderful, confused, free spirit, and she still is, only now she is truly free, and is completely constantly bathed with the love that she always yearned for, for she is with our Creator in the ultimate place for peace and love, paradise, believe me I know. It is the condition of your heart that is the entrance ticket, and this woman showed us one of the most loving hearts that ever lived. I love you Janis Lyn, see you soon. Sugar Bear.
