Lyric discussion by LondonMusicLover 

Janis truly touches the heart with many of her songs. I saw her in concert in Ottawa roughly around 1973 while she was promoting her Between The Lines album. And, yeah, guys can relate to this song - At Seventeen - as well. If you weren't a jock, you weren't getting invited to the parties, or meeting the girls.

I would be interested in others' opinions of some of her other melodic songs from that album, like Watercolors, Tea & Sympathy, Light A Light and In The Winter.

Also, for those who are unfamiliar with Janis' song Society's Child; she was only about 14 or 15 years old when she recorded it. The song was banned from many American radio stations due to perceived racial complications and inappropriateness of the time.
