Another musician has died


Paul Kantner formerly of Jefferson Airplane/Starship has died at 74. They were/are among my all time favorite bands, so very original.

Well, you get to a certain age (barring something bad happening to you earlier in life) and you start down that path where you just can't hold on any longer.  But his legacy is not to be understated. JA was an absolutely incredible band.  Surrealistic Pillow will never become outdated, and their dream of a better country and a better world was shared amongst millions and millions of thoughtful  and increasingly enlightened people.  I don't really know how they pulled it off, being
such a diverse group of musicians.  But Paul K.  helped to channel all that talent with his leadership and wonderful imagination, and their albums were very diverse in content while still producing beautiful songs.
