Ian, settled in Nashville for 20 years with a lesbian partner, has no regrets looking back despite all the difficul- ties. She is particularly happy with her most recent recording, a double CD compilation of her work. "It took me about seven months to write the book," says Ian, enjoying meeting face- to-face with her fans, who also are able to communicate with her directly through her Web site, www.janisian.com. "I looked at what happened in my life and found that some things were not nearly as important as I thought and other things were so much more important than I thought they would be. "It's a pretty straightforward life these days. I'm having a good time going out with the book. It seems to be selling, and the publisher is happy. "I feel great. I'm doing well. I work hard and rest when I can. I believe if you stay on the path, you get to where you're supposed to be." ❑ Ian chroni cles 40 years i n the music bus iness. MIDDLE-EASTERN CUISINE & RAW J - UICES r NE me I= ma la hen singer-songwriter Janis Ian was a teen and at the top of the music charts, serious issues and emotions were at the core of her messages. "Society's Child" has to do with an interracial couple. "Seventeen" probes popularity and the lack of it. "Jesse" describes loneliness. "Tattoo," about a concentration camp survivor, would come much later. Ian, 57, tells about the songs, simultaneous fame and rejection and the betrayal that added to the drama of her life in Society's Child: My Autobiography (Tarcher/Penguin, $26.95). The folk entertainer will talk about the book and sign copies 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, at Borders in Ann Arbor. The next evening, at 8 p.m., she will talk more about the book during a con- cert at the Ark in Ann Arbor. "Being raised as a Jew, culturally Jewish anyway, has been a huge part of my life," says Ian, who has performed many times in Michigan. "We were never observant, but in terms of my ethics, moral stance, understanding of human beings and knowing people who had tattoos on their wrists, [Judaism] couldn't help but inform my life. "I don't think I could have written `Tattoo' any earlier than I did. I think I needed a certain amount of maturity to deal with the subject of concentra- tion camps." Ian, a cousin to the late Detroit Symphony Orchestra conductor Valter Poole, outlines the problems that knocked her down. They had to do with serious illnesses, parental divorce, an abusive husband and a cheating business manager. "I just really wanted to tell the story as truthfully as possible with as little whining as possible she says. "I decided to write the book because of a combination of things, such as hitting I Janis Ian will sign her new auto- biography 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, at Borders, 612 E. Liberty, in Ann Arbor.
