Only if Melania can slip a drug into Jill’s cup. Kidding.

True story. Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane was invited to a White House reception because as a blood relative of a Daughter of the American Revolution under her maiden name Wing no one knew she was now a famous singer. She and Tricia Nixon were graduates of Finch College.

She had the idea of slipping an LSD capsule into food or drink for Richard Nixon. Because she asked Abbie Hoffman to be her guest (at the all female tea party) Secret Service questioned them and took away her chance. She concealed 600 milligrams of LSD and wasn’t found out. Hoffman was able to place a marijuana flag on the White House gate on the way out.

Note. She had lifelong mental illness and knew later that was a bad idea of a practical joke. Another time she felt rain as she was singing outside so did the rest of the show
with her shirt off and topless “because the rain would have made it wrinkle when it dried.”

Preparing for the Smothers Brothers live show she decided to put on blackface makeup she saw in the dressing room and sang two songs that way (on video later).

She once performed with the band but was so inebriated that she could not sing properly. She also attacked the audience, mocking Germany for losing World War II and groping both female audience members and bandmates. She left the group the next day, and she was “dragged off” a San Francisco game show for abusing the contestants.-— Wikipedia.

She was badly injured in a car race with bandmember Jorma Kaukonen as both were going over 100mph and Slick crashed into the wall of a tunnel in San Franciso.

She was an alcoholic but in recovery for over 20 years.

I’ll assume that’s supposed to read 600 micrograms.

Considering the hard-partying, rock-star lifestyle that he led for so long, it’s pretty amazing that Grace is alive at 85. Those DAR genes were pretty good, I guess.

Wow, wonderful information! Thanks. I listened to White Rabbit with the vocals isolated & her voice was so stunning.
