It seems to me that this is what Ms. Lazyasz meant by "pull a Joplin," mack:
"On October 4, 1970, four years and four months after she bolted from Austin, Janis Joplin overdosed in her room at the Landmark Hotel in Los Angeles, having scored a particularly pure batch of heroin. Her career had been virtually meteoric, but her ascent as the first goddess of rock was doused by her sad, lonely death, which followed that of Jimi Hendrix, who'd died two weeks earlier. Jim Morrison would die within a year. Janis was cremated and her ashes were scattered along the Marin County coastline of California." -Julius > > She didn't pull a Joplin > > > I don't know exactly what this means but she didn't pull anything.
