Another artist from the '70s was singer-songwriter Janis Ian. The one song of hers that I recall listening to is At Seventeen: "I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was meant for beauty queens... "
We had a teacher in high school named Mrs. Peterson whom I remember talking about the meaning of this song to the class. As she did, she held up the album cover for all of us to see. This particular album of Ms. Ian's featured a close-up portrait. And I can still hear a student named Keith exclaiming "I don't know what she's talking about - I think she's kind of cute!"
