Folkie wunderkind, taboo buster, musi-biz survivor — Janis Ian has worn a lot of hats. And she just added published author to the list. Full of bloodsucking hangers-on, crazed relationship drama, and a redemptive third act, her new autobiography might be the best VH1 Behind the Music never produced. Still, her storytelling remains best from behind the mic. Soft-rock classics like "At Seventeen" and "Society’s Child" catapulted Ian onto the national radar, nailing that tricky folk balance between diarist and troubadour.
