Wow, what a great song. I haven’t heard this in years. It came out my freshman year of high school and still really captures the challenges of adolescence.

She was one of the first two musical guests on SNL and sang this classic on that first episode. 
Worth searching on YouTube to listen to a live version. Superb.

looking back and appreciating how horribly painful those early high school days actually were - easier now reminiscing

When I was seventeen I felt, that she felt my pain. Really I did.

Such a classic song gave it a 10

I was not a plain girl at seventeen. But I have watched as some people are excluded from the table. Janis captures disenfrachisement and teenage angst. Well done.

Just found a excellent vinyl copy of this album at a local thrift store for $2...the whole recording is so good, top to bottom...think I'll give it a spin today.  Thanks for the reminder William....

Same here from the first time it appeared on the airwaves. I could relate.

Part of RP's genius juxtapositions is allowing for hearing something so familiar with fresh ears, as if for the first time. And the stellar sound engineering: today I hear her voice as if I've never heard it before.

Thank the gods for Radio Paradise!

Gorgeous, still. And 1975?!!! Man, I'm withering away.

It's okay Bill...my only sibling was 12yrs older than me.  I can remember riding around in her 65 Nova.  I was so amazed that she sang along with EVERY song that came on the radio...how did she do that?

I always think of Leon's lyric when I hear songs like this.

I remember when this song came out when I was a  senior is high school. I like it then and could relate to the isolation descripted in this song. It's still a strong 9.

Some how I have like 3 vinyl copies of this and maybe a CD.

exquisite song

Was never fond of this song, for all its obvious reasons, but it wouldn't really be the 70s in 'Merica without it. So there's that.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today? Have some mercy on those who will never find themselves. Wether or not a song is played on commercial stations has no bearing on the ultimate significance of a song. Lighten up!

I think for all of us, those who thought they didn\'t fit in and those who thought they did, this song was an anthem. At 17, we all began to learn the truth, whether we admitted it at that time or later.

This song pretty much is the anthem for those who did not \"fit in\" during high school years. An incredibly evocative song that will span the generations (and indeed has, already)
