Ironically, when Pam broke off with Baker and went back to Morrison, the two men became close friends and drinking buddies, and Baker became one of Janis' lovers. He lived at the Casa Real near the Chateau Marmont with two other young men, and the three of them became known as "the boys who blank famous women." Baker, who'd appeared nude in the Warhol film, told Morrison he was nothing but a "prick tease" and challenged him to "let it all hang out" at a rock concert. Eventually, Morrison did exactly that, in Miami, and the resultant legal complications drove him to a nervous breakdown. Baker perhaps also goaded Janis to some of her extremes, including exposure, that came to typify her later concerts." (From the book, "Pearl – The Obsessions and Passions Of Janis Joplin" a biography by Ellis Amburn (1992)
