Paul Kantner RIP
 

Jefferson Airplane

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

Rest In Peace Paul

Wow....

and the hits just keep on coming....

Bummer......

In the words of targa911S,
Everyone moves up one.

This one is really tough. Grew up listening to the Airplane. Loved that first Starship also. Man, this is tough

and we all move up one space..

The song Triad was about Grace Slicks relationships with Spencer Dryden (JA Drummer) and Paul Kantner.

david crosby wrote the song about himself
grace just sung it after the byrds didnot want the song

grace and paul did not hook up until after the song was written

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all

As nota said, written by David Crosby who was into "threesomes". He even named his boat "Triad".

rabbit and somebody to love are great society songs by grace and her BiL darby slick

pauls songs include The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil", "Watch Her Ride", "Crown of Creation", and the controversial "We Can Be Together"; and, with Balin, co-wrote "Today" and "Volunteers" and "Caroline.".[8] He also wrote, with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, the song "Wooden Ships", though for contractual reasons he was not credited initially.[9]

and his solo albums inc the classic ''blows against the empire''

Volunteers of America!

It's been many years since I saw the stars that way, rip Paul

Here's a great little clip, shot by Godard, of Jefferson Airplane playing 'The House at Pooneil Corners' onthe roof of the Schuyler Hotel on W. 45th St.

Well so much for what I know. But Slick was hooked up with Dryden and then Kantner.

Then a year or so later the Beatles did their rooftop concert at Abbey Road.

Brian Jones started the trendy androgny thing when he started wearing mix an match women's cloths.

What a strange trip its been!

My fav JA song is Hey Frederick. I always thought the Starship sucked and after Volunteers they got way too socially conscious.
