Janis Ian

Janis Ian (born Janis Eddy Fink; April 7, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter who was mostly active in the 1960s and 1970s; her most successful song At Seventeen, was released as a single from her 1975 album Between the Lines which reached number 1 on the Billboard chart.

Born in 1951 in New York, Ian entered the American folk music scene while still a teenager in the mid-1960s. Most active musically in that decade and the 1970s, she has continued recording into the 21st century. She has won two Grammy Awards, the first in 1975 for At Seventeen and the second in 2013 for Best Spoken Word Album, for her autobiography, Society's Child (nearly 40 years later).

Ian is also a columnist and science fiction author.

Early life

Born to an American family in New York City, she was primarily raised in New Jersey, initially on a farm, and attended East Orange High School in East Orange, New Jersey and the New York City High School of Music & Art. Her parents, Victor, a music teacher, and Pearl, ran a summer camp in upstate New York. In that Cold War era they were frequently under government surveillance because of their left-wing politics.

Mean Girls

Mean Girls is a 2004 American teen comedy film directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey. The film is based in part on Rosalind Wiseman's non-fiction self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes, which describes female high school social cliques and the damaging effects they can have on girls.

The film stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey, Lacey Chabert, Lizzy Caplan, Daniel Franzese, Jonathan Bennett and Amanda Seyfried (in her film debut). Saturday Night Live (SNL) creator Lorne Michaels produced the film. Screenwriter and co-star of the film, Tina Fey, was a long-term cast member and writer for SNL. Also featuring appearances from SNL cast members Tim Meadows, Ana Gasteyer, and Amy Poehler. The film marks Lohan's second collaboration with director Waters, the first being Freaky Friday (2003), released a year earlier. Although set in North Shore, Illinois (wealthy Chicago suburbs), the film was mostly shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The film grossed $129 million worldwide and has developed a cult following.

Younger Generation Blues

by: Janis Ian

Well, I was sittin' on the corner,
I was smokin' on the sly.
When along comes a grownup,
From the grownup F.B.I.
He says, "This ain't
Marlboro country, hon.
Where'd you get your cigarettes?
You know you are too young."
Then up stepped three more
Governmental nuts,
Who'd been laying in the gutter,
Disguised as cigarette butts.
Called for the sergeant,
He rolled up in a hearse.
And he called me a lousy,
No-good, juvenile pervert.
He gave me a lecture,
On cancer of the lung.
Said, "Anyone who smokes,
Is a low-down, dirty bum.
Don't let me catch you smokin',
around again," he said.
And he took another drag,
Of his cigarette.
If you think I'm hating grownups,
You're got me all wrong.
They're very nice people,
When they stay where they belong.
But we're the younger generation,
And your rules are giving me fixations.
I've got those younger generation,
Regurgitation blues.
I was going down the corner,
I was going against the light,
Which had just turned green,
Up comes this guy.
Says, "Don't you know,
That's a federal offense?
Seems like kids your age,
Just ain't got no sense.
Don't you know you're risking,
Juvenile arrest?
Committing suicide,
Is punishable by death."
If you think I'm hating grownups,
You're got me all wrong.
They're very nice people,
When they stay where they belong.
But we're the younger generation,
And your rules are giving me fixations.
I've got those younger generation,
