#4 Before taking the first of several cigarette breaks, she pops out a false incisor, then shoves it back in.

What happened to her tooth? "It fell out," she barks. "I'm old."

#7 The image of Grace Slick

taking the first of several cigarette breaks, she pops out a false incisor, then shoves it back in.

is a good image for next-generations to really understand that whole 1960's "rage" thing. We didn't see it that way at the time because everyone was young and beautiful then, but that about sums it up.

#8 Why did parents hate what she did? Is this her most important legacy? How about being among the pied pipers that lead a few generations down paths of self destruction. Hmm, it's ironic that someone who mouthed all the revolutionary B.S. of the 60's is now in the Pentagon mall working at a gallery called Wentworths. How revolutionary.

#11 "A radiant old lady"

Don't you mean "glows in the dark"? If you ingest enough chemicals . . .

#12 As someone who absolutely loved the sound of Grace Slick's voice long before seeing her HOT pics, it is definitely a bummer to see her selling herself at the the Fashion Center at the Pentagon Mall. But, as with most things, anything to keep your name and face in front of the public AND make a buck.

#13 The crazy old bitch ran me off the road back in 99' as I was driving to my in-laws place in Walnut Creek! There I was, puttering innocently along on my Moto Guzzi, when Grace "Still Not That Sober" Slick comes halfway into my lane on Highway 4, doing 110 mph in (believe it or not) a clapped out Bentley. I went into a ditch, and she kept right on going (or ‘truckin, or WTF ever). The really scary thing is that White Rabbit was blaring out of her car’s speakers the entire time.

#16 Aw, crap. I feel a little guilty. We all straighened out and got good jobs in computers and such while she and a few others continued to burn out their grey matter. They did it for us, I should feel guilty.

Okay, I don't feel anything. I did like Mama Cass, though. I feel sad. She could sing really good. Made Grace sound like she was shouting.
Come to think about it, she was shouting.

#17 If you remember the 60's you weren't there. I remember being in Berkeley in the 60's and going to college there. I got this degree thingy in 1970. I remember Grace's singing, hot. But Imr canna recall nufing much else.....*sigh*

#18 While at the time it did seem strange that the University of Tennessee marching band never played Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers of America", I went through part of my life thinking it was Tennessee's fight song.

How wrong we are in our youth...

#19 yeah, but then she did "we built this city" in the 80s - quite possibly the worst song of all time. The type of jingle that sticks in your grape like a f*ckin' cyclic cranium freeze you cannot get rid of. Damn you grace, damn you to hell.

#20 I happen to have a radio station's promo version to the J.A.'s First album; been played completely though, maybe once (won it, didn't buy it). Couldn't stand her voice or lyrics then, glad I wasn't shopping at Woolworths, or where ever she was. Something about eating and keeping it down.
