Grace Slick ~ Rock and Roll Royalty

As a powerful solo artist and lead singer for the groups Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship, Grace Slick helped blaze the trail for female artists in the largely male-dominated world of rock and roll music. Along with her friend Janis Joplin, Grace Slick helped define the 1960s psychedelic rock genre with her distinctive vocal style and bold personality. Unlike Joplin, who died of a drug overdose in 1970, Grace Slick remained an important part of the rock and roll scene for nearly three decades. Grace Slick left Starship in 1988, though she reunited briefly with Jefferson Airplane the following year. In 1996, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her work with Jefferson Airplane. Now retired from the music business, Grace Slick has emerged as a successful painter. Some of her subjects include fellow 1960s musicians Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia.

White Rabbit Lyrics

Written by Grace Slick

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall ...

White Rabbit is a psychedelic rock/acid rock song from Jefferson Airplane's 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow. It was released as a single and became the band's second top ten success, peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was ranked #478 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, #27 on Rate Your Music's Top Singles of All Time and appears on the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Slick has stated that White Rabbit was a response towards parents who asked why their children were taking drugs. According to her, books that parents would read to their children, such as Alice in Wonderland, encouraged them to experiment with substances since surreal and colorful imagery was often used.

Grace Slick

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia

Grace Slick (born Grace Barnett Wing on October 30, 1939) is an American singer and songwriter, who was one of the lead singers of the rock groups The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship, and as a solo artist, for nearly three decades, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s. Slick was an important figure in the 1960s psychedelic rock genre, and is known for her witty lyrics and powerful contralto vocals. Slick's music career began during 1965 in San Francisco. Slick, and her then husband, were influenced to start their own band by The Beatles and after they saw the newly formed Jefferson Airplane perform at The Matrix. Slick, who was a model at the time, stated the main reason for going into music was because after seeing Airplane perform, she realized they were making more money than she was as a model and were having more fun performing.

If I knew the pills that mother gave me didn't do anything at all, I didn't have an Alice around to ask. Ha! Blessed!

This was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Met the Jefferson Airplane band members in San Francisco back stage at the Fillmore West in 1968. Paul Kantner & Grace Slick are two of the most awesome talented people alive. *Squid Angel Blessed* and added to My Squid Angel Blessings 2012 in the "Music » Musicians" neighborhood.
