She looks horrible Grace Slick, after the Airplane was a bad alcoholic, got in trouble holding off a SWAT team with guns, and now this. It is like Steve Jobs and Apple putting the iphone on AT&T only, when they could have gone with T-Mobile, who refused to cooperate with the NSA, unlike AT&T, Verizon, and Cingular/Sprint. Some of our old friends from the 60s have done the same. I met a guy two weeks ago that I have not seen in 35 years. He was thrilled to talk about our wild times together such as Emerson Lake and Palmer's first night in the USA (1971), and PinK Floyd Halloween Night 1970 in Passaic. You're right.....Very Sad about Grack........

Makes me sad...and a bit angry as I really felt that these guys were one of the last outlaw bands around frrom the 60's.
I have to wonder what the rest of the remaining Airplane thinks of this.
I will always remember the former Grace Slick in her previous incarnation and will always speak to me.

Well, this I believe is the key to maintaining the Rebel Persona. To not sell out your values, and look at the whole scope of history, and see the people who did their best, under the most difficult situations. Who comes to mind? Galileo, Socrates, Joan of Arc, Einstein, Leary, McKenna, Robert Fripp, Willie Nelson, Wilhelm Reich, Gary Null, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Keith Emerson, Fiorella Terenzi, Hunter Thompson, and I am sure you can all add your own names to this list.
The 1950s term "Being a Square", and the 60s term, being an establishment straight" is one method. I think learning by osmosis when a straight or square is trying to get something over on us.
