Grace Slick will turn 85 in October and it's my bet that she's gonna outlive everyone.

Grace Slick still alive, may outlive us all.

Drugs, The Final Frontier of Jefferson Starship.

Or, as Hunter Thompson, The Coneheads, and Hunter Biden would recommend......Mass Quantities.

Woostock is the only decent Live Jefferson Airplane performance I've ever heard.

They had a really good set, they meshed well and sound was great - lots from their Volunteers album (I think their best, anyway).

Every other live Airplane I've heard sounded like they all got "the Green" acid...

Slick’s White Rabbit is a two-and-a-half minute rock masterpiece. Her vocals on it are magnificent.

“Volunteers” was an anti-Vietnam War song when it came out in 1970, but in 2024, it sounds like a MAGA anthem.

[Verse 1]
Look what’s happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I’m dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain’t it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution, got to revolution

One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no dissertation to hold
Pick up the cry

[Verse 2]
Hey now it’s time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on now, we’re marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America

Ain’t it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Yeah, we’re volunteers of America
We’re volunteers of America
Volunteers of America

I was in my third of college at the time, and in the thick of it when that album came out. It’s a rousing, energetic call for revolution, yet , ironically, it marks the point when all that creative energy and spirt of change from ‘66-‘68, dissolved and became co-opted into commercialism, conceit, and a mere fashion statement.
