That's a perfect song. Great vocals, great lyrics, haunting guitar and bass, the whole bit. And mmmmm ... mushrooms.
Agreed, Grace was quite slick back in the dayGrace was quite easy on the eyes in those days.
My Personal TOP 5 from that list:
it should be noted for all of History, that in 1967 (week of Dec 23) that the Jordan Brothers 'Gimmie some lovin'' was higher on the charts (WLAN) then the Spencer Davis group version!! Spencer Davis group actually covered the Jordan Brothers version. (Although the Winwoods wrote the song, the Jordan Brothers arranged it differently, and that arrangement is the one you hear today).
Whiter Shade of Pale - one of my top 10 songs of all time.
What an interesting woman. After the stardom was over, she just seemed to say "to hell with it" and just went a total different direction with her life. She was honest to a fault about her career in her interviews, didn't seem to have a filter or even care if the wrong thing slipped out when speaking. One of a kind, and for whatever reason, she doesn't seem to get name checked on the list of influential feminists or women. Grace Slick was a force. She had integrity and brilliance but was brutally blunt and hilarious at the same time.Agreed, Grace was quite slick back in the day
Stills wrote that song about the LA riots in the video. The band had driven into LA, saw what was going on, turned around and split. How about the young Young
in the video.
My second grade teacher used to sing that song to us - of course I had no idea it was a protest song -she must be in her 70's now - damn I feel old.
He was more than that. Cassady was Kerouac's writing inspiration and felt that Cassady had greater talent than himself. Kerouac pretty much idolized Cassady. Read the Paris Review interview with Kerouac. You'll love it. Actually, all the interviews I've read in the Paris Review are excellent. Kerouac riffs in the interview. He had a great, racing intelligence. He also loved booze and pills.
( dead horse, I know).

Kerouac would have hated Lee Child

I wasn't sure so I expanded. Check out all the Paris Review interviews. I turned mn78 to them and he loved 'em.the question was about a bus driver. I know Neal Cassady was more than that. and he could have kicked Jack Reacher's little b*tch arse.
btw, one of my favorite Dead tunes is "Cassidy" . . .
