HomoQuotable – Janis Ian

“I keep thinking there must be a punchline here. An
ex-president and the first lady and three lesbians walk into a bar.” – Folk singer Janis Ian, accepting her 2013 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for the recording of her autobiography, Society’s Child.  Also nominated in the (sort of) books-on-tape category were Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama, Ellen DeGeneres, and Rachel Maddow.   Ian won her last Grammy in 1976 for her breakthrough single, At Seventeen, in the Best Female Pop Vocal category.
