Well back in the day, Grace was one of the reining queens of rock & roll...about the time Joni was pegged as a hippy goddess (& of course Janis was another).
They emerged out of the San Francisco scene which at that time was a Mecca for all things new & exciting...music was a huge part of it. You know, peace & love man. I remember Grace & the Airplane as being one of the originators (maybe the most prominent) of a new style of psychedelic rock & roll. Grace was rebellious, intelligent, wild & a little bit tough. I thought she was beautiful & her voice was so powerful & unique. Along with Somebody to Love, I recall the song White Rabbit was HUGE. Looking back, I think its appeal was that many of us were really still kids looking for a fairytale way of life. I saw her during her peak at the Filmore East, then a year or so later at Woodstock. The Airplane set was one of the highlights from my Woodstock experience. They played at sunrise after the rainstorms had passed. I can't recall which song it was now, but it was the perfect soundtrack for the beautiful new day & one of the most profound combinations of music complementing nature. >>>Grace Slick. What was her deal? I have seen the behind the music on VH1 and heard stories and she was a definite rock and roller, but why did she get so much attention. I guess I just dont get her.<<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
