JANIS JOPLIN LOVE LETTERS TO GO ON AUCTION BLOCK

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Janis Joplin once sang "Take A Little Piece Of My Heart" and now fans will actually be able to take her up on that -- in the form of some lost love letters. 64 mash notes Joplin wrote in 1965 to then-beau Peter J. DeBlanc will be auctioned off March 1 by Swann Galleries. Incredibly, the letters suggest the rebellious rocker was actually an old-fashioned gal who, in her words, "can't wait to get married and have kids." But that doesn't mean Joplin was a June Cleaver clone. In one letter, she admits to having track marks on her arms from heroin use and in another says all she did in college was drink, sing and have sex. Estimated value for the complete set of love letters is a whopping $200,000.
