Wonderfully weird song -- on the Crown of Creation album.

(UAC, from the 60s -- that's "Utterly Airplane Crazy")

I could never hear enough J. Airplane/J. Starship, but plain old "Starship" got a tad too commercial.

Great peice of music history,rdy.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a freaky movie!!!!

Glad to hear it! Lucky you!!

Our season really runs from Sept. till early Dec. but the very clever folks can find them just about all through the year.

Now just occasionally I yearn for the S. of France or N. Italy and truffle country!

Somebody to Love was written by Grace Slick's soon to be ex husband, Darby Slick. Was first recorded by the husband wife team in their band The Great Society.

Darby being one of those "Frisco" hippies used his proceeds to become a porn producer in the 80's. One of his movies was "The Girls of MASH"

Nothing beats an intimate setting though . Alan Holdsworth is playing 3 hours from me to a crowd of 50 people . Can't beat that . I'm thinking of bangin' in at work just to go . World renouned musician and 50 people , last time that happened I was 22 and saw Robert Fripp in Hells Kitchen in Manhattan . Sat right in front of him . He's a real funny guy in person , actually .

I wouldn't have minded so much but when I tried to liven up the concert...they put me in detention.

Holdsworth worked with the beginnings of Zeppelin on the recording of Donovon's Hurdy Gurdy Man. Went on to UK and like Fripp obscurity. Fripps follow band members went on to form Foreigner, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

One of the great songs of the 'hippie' era. Interesting psychological play on words 'when the truth you've been told turns out to be lies' sounds like a lot of what is coming out of the MSM spinmeisters, pundits and Govt 'explainers' even today. 'And all the joy within you dies' those things that we were supposed to value and believe gave us happiness until the truth was revealed; basic society delivers happiness through the 'appearance of happiness' not the 'actual event'(this is akin to the 'self-actualization process that Maslow(?) (I think this is how his last name is spelled)wrote about) of personal happiness.

But in retrospect; the past sounds a lot like the present and possibly the future. So has anything really changed?

G Slick had one of those voices and the band was basically very unique and very good at what they did. I think White Rabbit was on the same LP as this song.

Great post r2r; brings back memories.

Your welcome.Grace sure did have a heck of a voice.For me it was a retro song as I was growing up in the sixties.But I had an older brother who had the records but was kind of young really to understand the full import.

I started actually becoming "aware" around 70'.
