Now, as an rich old liberal hag:
Actually, she doesn't have too many wrinkles for being in her mid-60s and all the drugs she's done.

(Conspiracy Nation, 6/20/04) -- It's time for a change.
The so-called Greatest Generation, actually sleeping apostles who totally missed the rise of the Military-Industrial Complex and its consequent betrayal of American idealism, are eerie precursors of what the Baby Boomer Generation could become. Do we want to end up like that? Like failures fed mush by an ass-licking Tom Brokaw?
We are already a joke to Generation X, who sneer at our persistent reminiscences about the 1960s.
"You should have been there. The 1960s were wild! We were going to change the world!" ("Sure thing, old-timer.")
Look at the brown-nosing conformist leaders we have heaved up: Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. To Generation X, with no memory of wild child Abbie Hoffman nor of John and Yoko hiding in a bag, Clinton and Bush personify the 1960s.
Look into your heart. Is this the memory you want to hand down to your children, the past equated with Clinton and Bush?
There is still hope: a lady, not assassinated like Hoffman and Lennon, who never sold out her 1960s idealism. When the Truth is Found to be Lies, Vote for Grace Slick.
And what do we know of Grace Slick? March 5, 1994: Grace Slick arrested for pointing a shotgun at police. This tells us not only that she supports the right to keep and bear arms, but also that she truly wants to get government off our backs.
Sure she's a little wild, but so were we, once upon a time. At least we know she's honest, which is more than can be said about most politicians these days.
"I've enjoyed accomodations offered by police departments from Florida to Hawaii. Any time I saw a badge, something in me would snap," reminisced Ms. Slick. Slick is not reacting to the police, per se, who after all don't write the laws. She is obviously (as she herself says) reacting to a badge, symbol of the seal given to Cain and denoting authoritarianism.
And why not get the griping feminists off our backs by giving them what they're always bitching about -- at last, a woman president, Grace Slick.
"What you gonna do about Cleveland? What you gonna do about the economic price index?" So rhetorically asked Slick in one of her political statements. Her solution? "F*** You! We do what we want!" And that is her in a nutshell, a living embodiment of what the 1960s were really about.
This November, when you go to vote, tell the Judge of Election you'd like to cast a write-in vote. They can instruct you on how that is done. Then, after you enter the voting booth, for president spell out that last hope name, Grace Slick.
I will admit, for all her political and lifestyle flaws, Grace has/had an amazing, captivating voice, I'll give her that.
BTW she doesn't look as good as that picture anymore (she's almost 66 years old)...
You don't suppose there are tapes out there suggesting that she smoked pot once do you?
No way...
< /sarcasm >
Agreed....about 50 pounds or so overweight, long white hair...but she DOES still have those piercing eyes
You think relations with the Germans are bad now, just imagine what they would be with Grace in the White House.
So9
I always wondered what she would sound like fronting a heavy metal band.
In April 1970, Grace Slick was invited to a reception hosted by President Richard Nixon's daughter, Tricia, at the White House. The organizers of the affair apparently had little idea who Grace was, or of her opinion of Nixon. (Her song, Mexico, a scathing critique of Nixon's anti-drug policy, had only just been released as a single.) Upon arrival, however, Grace was barred from entering when she brought a "bodyguard" -- '60s radical Abbie Hoffman! Grace later said that, had they been allowed in, they had planned to spike Nixon's tea with LSD, so that the president would "see the truth."
But Grace has to answer for "We Built This City."
Actually, the thought of Nixon on acid is rather amusing...
That is a horrible song. In that video she looked like a middle-aged high school teacher.
Do you have a recent picture of her to post?
Loved Grace Slick - but after I understood her lyrics (as an adult) I couldn't agree with her. Sigh, last time I heard them perform they were so drunk/stoned that they couldn't remember their own songs. The druggie culture is a bust and their ideas just bad.
In 1985, at age 46:
Now, as an rich old liberal hag:
Actually, she doesn't have too many wrinkles for being in her mid-60s and all the drugs she's done.
Yeah, but boy did she have a voice.
I guess now she sells paintings she does. They aren't anything great but they're OK-but even she admits they only go for big bucks because she's Grace Slick.
She's always been about the money (and drugs), it seems. There's no other explanation for songs like "We Built This City" and "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now."
I think Grace said she had started going gray in her 20s, but used hair dye to conceal it. In the past few years she gave up using the dye, as you can obviously see.
Actually I think she was sober by the time Starship did those monstrosities. Scary.
Thanks for the pictures. I was thinking of Stevie Nicks.
Noooooo, but I recently watched a DVD about them
One "Slick" as President was more than enough.
I thought she was dead.
LSD does that. Doctors call it a 'transitory psychotic disturbance'.
Surprisingly, she's not.
You've got that right.
I never liked Mickey Thomas, he sucked with Elvin Bishop and he sucked with Starship.
I am tired of the "man" comin' down on my back too!
Maybe she will sing "White Rabbit"
That's the one with "Jane" right? When I first heard that song, I could have sworn it was Toto.
Yes, she did (or does?) have a voice. They were my all-time favorite in fact :)
Hehe...yeah it did sound like Toto.
Grace Slick for President.
Let the Manson family stay in the Lincoln bedroom.
Charles Manson or Marilyn Manson?
The question is who DIDN'T she party with back then...
Worst song ever!
Wasn't there something a while back that listed the ten worst songs of the 80s? I think "We Built This City" was on top and "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now" make the top 5 as well.
She doesn't have many wrinkles, but she doesn't quite have that sexiness anymore, does she?
Granny Grace.

Anyone who can remember the 60s wasn't there!
Ducking for cover....
That song was played a million times when it first came out. I was sooooooo sick of it.
20. Lionel Richie – Dancing on the Ceiling
Anything by Lionel Richie is bad, IMO. His music is so sappy and depressing.
They had the top 50 Worst Love Songs ever on VH1 a couple weeks ago and guess who took the number one spot. Lionel Richie for Truly.
22. Toby Keith – Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue
I only heard this one a few times, but I liked it too.
Shouldn't there be some Wham songs this list ;)
I can't believe "Careless Whisper" didn't make the list.
Is her husband's name Earl?
I dunno but if she did run she'd be the second Slick to seek the nomination (Slick Willie being the first).
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, should have been #1 on the list. And by the way, anyone who didn't think George Michael was gay after seeing that video, needed to get their gaydar seriously adjusted.
