To warm us up here is some artwork from Grace Slick to celebrate her 66th birthday. Spot a theme?











When the




Beatles brought out some slushy love song, I can’t remember which now, the Jefferson Airplane countered with “(Don’t you want) Somebody to Love”

It starts off with Grace belting out;

When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies

You don’t get a better opening than that.
