74 is not that old anymore. Drugs do that to a person. Kills them early.

I love Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick one of the great female voices, not only Paul Kantner, but Jorma Kaukonen one of the most inventive guitar players.

My favourite Jefferson Airplane album is "After Bathing At Baxters" released in 1967, which begins with the barnstorming "The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil"

Darling you need to get "Blows Against The Empire", 1970 album release from Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, it's incredibly brilliant. It's actually the first non-Airplane album and is released under name Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship.

I don't do THE Jefferson Starship it just gets increasingly awful as the years go on.

However THIS = Great:

Blows Against the Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Actually I found the entire album for you to hear on You Tube, 45 minutes worth of fantastic stuff:

Are you sure he was not the original founder of Jefferson Starship also?

Funny how the kids back then who couldn't distinguish between entertainment and the endorsement of prolific drug abuse grew up to be ignorant adults who can't distinguish between liberal politics and the endorsement of prolific drug abuse.
