Today, October 30, 2014, is the 75th birthday of Grace Slick, lead singer of Jefferson Airplane then Jefferson Starship!!! Damn, I am old!!! I just saw her picture and she kinda Barbara Bush(y).

She was damned hot, free and easy, back in the 60s. But hell, most women were, particularly in California.

I was stationed in Monterey, Cali, in 1965-66 then in Petaluma, Cali for a while after that. We would get to San Francisco on weekends and it was the greatest time in the world for a young man to be alive. There were (and I guess still are) so many homosexuals that when you would first meet a woman the first words out of her mouth were "Are you straight?" The ladies just didn't want to waste their time. A straight guy in San Francisco could get more ass than a toilet seat.

April 24th, 1970 — Grace Slick and Abbie Hoffman Nearly Dose President Nixon

In early 1970, Grace Slick was shocked when an invitation to appear at the White House arrived in her mailbox. At the time, Richard Nixon had been in the White House for just about a year and the Jefferson Airplane singer was one of the most famous hippies in the entire country. She got the invitation because Nixon's daughter Tricia was throwing a party for her fellow Finch College alumnae, and Slick had attended the women's finishing school a decade earlier. "Going against the counsel of the other Finchettes, she sent me an invitation," Slick wrote in her memoir Somebody to Love? "When she asked me who my 'escort' would be, I quickly said, 'Mr. Leonard Haufman.'" As in Abbie Hoffman.

When the big day came, Slick did everything she could to make the counterculture icon look as straight as possible. "I tried to flatten his hair — he had a big Afro and we didn't want to look like a couple of screaming hippies," she wrote. "But when I got through with him and he put on a suit and tie, he looked like a hit man for the Mafia." They got in line at the White House gates, secreting a gigantic supply of powdered LSD. Their plan was to dose the tea at the event and take President Nixon on his first acid trip. "The idea that he might be stumbling through the White House a little later, talking to paintings, watching the walls melt, and thinking was turning into a bulldog, was irresistible," she wrote. Unfortunately for the couple, they were detained by security and told that they couldn't enter because Slick was on an FBI blacklist. After a brief back-and-forth — in which the guards relented and said she could come in, but without Hoffman — the pair left in a huff, having almost pulled off the dosing of the century.

Tricky Dick didn't need an acid trip to talk to paintings.

Similar getting old feeling...........I saw that Kathleen Turner was in a new movie. OUCH.

it is not a crime
we do not
age like wine

our fleshy meat
cannot compete
with stinky cheese
all you can eat
gastronomical retreat

allow our droopy imperfections
be the perfections
in the drowsy recollections
in the eyes of our now awakening cats

Supposedly her appearance today was the result of rheumatoid arthritis treatment and alcohol abuse. I agree though she was smoking back in the day. I remember being a young lad and watching her in the movie "Body Heat".... wowzers!

I feel sorry for the alcohol family. Seems they are always being abused.

Just so happens, I've got a date with the beer side of the family this very night.
