Grace Slick Unveils Virgin America's Jefferson Airplane

[thethoughtsofme]

They wrote Jefferson Airplane in relatively small letters on the side of the plane. That's it? Cheap way to get attention, i guess.

[TimelessBarbara]

She is, and always will be, a ROCK STAR. Fabulous!

[DaDa2Phlux]

It still pollutes the sky no matter what the suits or beads call it.

[atrios28]

@DaDa2Phlux  R.Branson at least has converted Virgin's fleet to a vegetable oil-based jet fuel (no kid)

[DaDa2Phlux]

@atrios28 All good then :-) everything will help

[thesyd1975]

why the hell is everyone hung up on the way grace looks now,every clip of her on youtube has similar comments,its so boring,shes 71,what do people expect,if she had went and got surgery she would have got slagged for that too,personally i havent seen many woman of 71 that still look as good as her!!! now go listen to her music!!!

[futuristfood]

it should be painted like kens bus.. why so blah?..

[Mamnia93]

And I hope they DIDN'T play the opening of the Monterey gig at this silly meeting and it's just manipulation.

[Mamnia93]

Sorry, but I don't know why she accepted to show up there and why THEY accepted to put the name of their band on a vehicle the name of they had in their name. Hm.

Anyway, that's offensive against them, it's making a product out of them. And the guys from Jefferson Airplane shouldn't be a product.

[softlawe]

No offense to Grace, but these old over indulging hippies were the ultimate hypocrites. Nice to see them functioning with the "Pigs" of society;)

[caravaggio31]

The age is the reason.

The youth is the adventure.

She was young a day in the past when the wolrd was so differentt and you?

[osocarosanti]

@softlawe I think she wasn't a hippie, on the 80 she was doing pop

[iorioriorio]

picture arnold doin 20 hits of primo "el"..then liftin for 4 days straight- the airplane is playin on the gym p.a. system--- vee vill pump you high er, girly man!

[whizbang47]

Arnold is a creep. Hope Grace got paid.

[kbplaya33]

luv grace shes a timeless beauty

[oceanbound222]

Totally awesome !!!!!!!

[LovePeaceNFreedom]

Haha, Grace kicking it with Arnold. Classic.

[claumaquina]

te amo hermosaaaaa lastimaaa eh nacido tardeeee, tengo 22 años claudio rodriguez

[MrM0j0Risin666]

This town was built on rock and roll ..

[OrangeSunshine2]

Welcome aboard Ladies and Gentleman!, Could I interest you in a bag of peanuts?? Perhaps a hit of LSD-25? Please help yourselfs to the love-in at the rear of the aircraft- Fly Jefferson Airplane- gets you on*** time

[VINTOSTER]

Watch the Plane Of Ostin Powers!!!

[dustasdu]

Haha I love Grace! But the plane is bullshit hahaha!

[writeroffthelake]

I'm surprised that she showed up at all; she's shunned the media for a long time. God bless her, she's left us with a legacy of music that will live in our souls forever and whether she wants to walk into the limelight again or shun the media has to a private decision made by her.

[myview28]

What good media op for Grace. I expected more than a conservative few small words.

[JeffLeChefski]

Here I thought it was gonna be some trippy cool tribute to psychedelic art and like the dood wrote below: "We get a sticker."

[Landrew120880]

I can dig what your saying. I am used to seeing Grace at 44 (around the time Software came out). But I guess because we dont live around these folk, we get a little shocked at reality. Grace is wonderful.

[ftwsmp]

She's right, Grateful Dead would be a bad name for a plane, but Quicksilver Messenger Service would be alright.

[HelterSkelter085]

that's it?? just a small sticker? i was expecting way much more than that.

[neverindoubt]

She had such a great voice! Just dominated the hall, filling it.

[Inspector711]

Man I was expecting some cool phsychadelic looking plane.

[ruzz3ii]

She actually looks wonderful for a 67 year old. No wrinkles at all. And she made a lot more money than you ever will. I am with her on the leaving out the plastic additives from her looks. Grace Rules.

[EBursey]

It's sad to see Grace Slick aged 65+. I'm 22 & have thought of her aged 40 since i was 12. Very Freaky....

[acidsunrise]

yeah -i know what you mean -listen to"pictures of lilly"by the who

[EBursey]

Yeah, the song's about right :)

[greenfury87]

She was so hot back in the 60s.

[usm7j]

When were you born?

[MattB506]

she was probably high

[NewYankee01]

what a fucking guest list just for that. grace and arnold.

[phoebehalliwell8989]

God... she was so beautiflor!...............

[usm7j]

Well that's fine - to me all Janis did was scream - but Grace's voice was hypnotic - you must admit. Besides - when all of us get older our bodies change, and of course we can't look like we did when we were in our 20's - what a wonderful time that was!!!!!

[usm7j]

No matter what Grace Slick looks like - she will always be the "queen"....

[luxielux]

I love Grace's voice. But according to me, Janis was the queen!! :D

[usm7j]

Ever see any of her art work?

[Rustyshackleford08]

She hates aging too..like all of us but she REALLY hates it.

[usm7j]

Not alot she can do about it - we all do get older. It's whats inside that counts.

[Rustyshackleford08]

I definitely know, I just find it so tragic what we have to go through.

[usm7j]

It's like they say - (although I think it's a lousy way of expressing the thought) 'Life's a bitch and then you die' -- but - at least we can say that we lived through a the greatest music explosion that ever was!

[usm7j]

Listen to 'Let it go' by her - just beautiful.

[Rustyshackleford08]

I will check that out. Not that I want to be older but I wish sometimes I was born in 1950..I would have been there for everything. Now look what we have..sigh:)

[DrTimothyLeary2007]

Open your eyes man this is the new world

[soflaw]

Grace is not aging gracefully, which is a nice oxymoron;) Grace has come full circle with the hypocrisy gig. I love her old music, but she looks and sounds terrible. I'm sure she could care less what I think, but I do with her peace, love and good health and happiness.

[TykoEaston]

She really doesn't. Looking at her today, it's easy to recognize Grace Slick. And in recent interviews, her sarcasm and wit still endure.

[ioriorioriorio]

Must've paid out alot....My grace would never hang out with a republican fascist.

[1337905]

he's not a fascist idiot. he has kennedy connections and is enviromentally friendly. on top of that, he contributed greatly to 80's culture with cool catch phrases.

[ioriorioriorio]

All repubs are fascist in nature, my friend,....and The Airplane contributed alot more to "culture", than this has- been meathead.

[vickilaw]

Yes, she's beautiful but it's so weird to see Grace Slick look like the hippie grandma that she is. I'll take one of those brownies, please, gramma :-)

[strandneuker]

arnold shithead just stands there like an austrian robot!!! what a freak, leckely he's not fullborn american, or he could go for president!!!!!!

[MatthewJoseph1]

Thats because Aretha is The Queen of Soul!!! And Grace Slick is no rocker she is the Queen of Pychedelia!!!

[Threeload]

Look at Arnie ;) He looks upstaged and envious of the grand old lady of rock. Mr Olympia several times over, a massive Hollywood career and high political office never got his name on the side of a commercial jet! Maybe he should have taken re-creational drugs instead of creational drugs in those heady 60's;)

[vieillebrioude]

mourir, la belle affaire! Mais vieillir, oh! vieillir...

[slobone]

Ow, that's Grace Slick? If she looks like that, WTF must I look like?

[jeffahey]

I LOVE ANYTHING Grace!!Rockon girl!!!

[Ronnie7311]

I wish she would do just ONE more album...just ONE... :(

[iversonneversleeps]

She is beautiful

[bsarles]

The question was: "What is the song they play :31 to :52 ?"

Answer: Jefferson Airplane's cover Donovan's "Fat Angel." Sung by Paul Kantner. The intro at the beginning is acutally Jerry Garcia introducing the Airplane at Monterey in '67.

[circle2491]

i think the song is flay jefferson airplane

[RedZinaida]

i love how grace's hair is all white in contrast to it being all black back then. but even in her twenties, she'd dye her hair. its good to see rockers in their natural healthy state. no one's gonna stay dark haired and petite forever, drugs or not. she's still beautiful and talented. she made it thru the storm and now she shines wonderfully. keep rocking, grace. i SO wanna fly jefferson airplane.

[METALisLOUDER]

What is the song they play :31 to :52 ?

[Spamhero]

Grace Slick in my brain. Her politics on this

occasion may be questionable in launching

a virgin airways product. But anyone who likes

raccoons can't be all bad.

[nettozu]

she has not hair!! and what the f...k is arnie doing therejajja.. is like the zoo

[RedZinaida]

she has hair. its all white and in a ponytail. she's been dying her hair black since her 20s.

[therandomguy3]

no shit shes awesome its just the principle of the matter

[dullsville]

dose arnold!

[therandomguy3]

Grace Slick has sold out the once great San Fransisco Acidhead band. She would always flip a shit on stage. So freaking doped out on anything. Sure, now shes clean...er. But, Cmon! How could she do this. Virgin Mobile; a rather large cooperation. Is exactly what she opposed in her songs.

[manensol]

I'd rather sell out to Virgin than any other megacorp. Richard Branson is awesome.

[mcbarron23]

i love grace...for everything she stood, and continues to stand for. sure, she could have a face lift and dye her hair. that would be cool, but she chooses not to, and i think she looks great, AND let's all remember that she and the airplane really started the revolution of peace in the 60's. p.s. i'm in san francisco and we just had the anniversary of the "summer of love" in golden gate park" where it all began

[1960jack]

Grace RULES! and yes the summer of Love in Monterey and Golden Gate park was great!

I met so many interesting people. The Starship was great at GGP and Monterey.

Long live the Psychedelic Haze!

[bsarles]

Grace has ALWAYS done whatever the fuck she wants, and still does. I'm sure she wears her beautiful white hair with some pride, as she's earned every white hair. I've seen the woman a couple times in recent years. All you have to do is look in to those cobalt blue eyes and you'll see how beautiful she still really is.

[moxie96]

@bsarles the first time I came out to formally meet her at her autobiography release she stated that her agent or promoter had told her to darken her hair but she prefered not to but she was bullied into it. The second time I formally met her was for her art exhibit and her hair was very white. Both times she did not remember she known me before when I was a little girl in san francisco when she still came back here more often; katner nearly adopted me though like many other kids in the city

[johnnyleonard1]

@bsarles , I've met her also, and know exactly what you mean when you look into those eyes ,,,

doesn't really matter what words we were saying ,I think we were talkiing about racoons in Mill Valley BUT THOSE EYES and her soul is just Magical" film or video does not do her justice

[elwoodc]

you know ten years ago grace still looked good. it just looks like she doesnt give a shit anymore and decided to let her hair go gray and gain 50 pounds. btw i wish she would perform again damnit!

[skog63]

Grace, Miss Clairol. Miss Clairol, Grace Slick.

[skog63]

I know it's probably the right thing to own your age but a little hair color would take 20 years off of her.

[Gaby1234567890Gaby]

She sure did get old.

[PC3900]

I thought the plane would at least have had a some psychedelic pattern painted on it.

[ghoula69]

Hey Tip toe 221 Give Grace a break she is 67 not 30 and she's not druggen or drinking for many years. She's not into face lifts, dying her hair and trying to impress concieted fucks like you. I saw her last year on a show about gardens and they were interviewing Grace about her garden and house and she looked good. This lady is pretty inside and outside and thats the facts dude.

[bobby2853]

Thank you, well said. I dont understand why some people or this generation now has to give a comment and rating about anything, especially negative. Wasted words

[tiptoe221]

Grace Barnett Wing Slick would have NEVER guessed that she'd look like this when she was 30 singing at Woodstock in 1969. A beautiful woman, model with a great voice. Heavy drinkin' and druggin' have taken a toll on her, unfortunately.

A warning to you yungens. If ya wanna look good in your old age. Don't do it.

[jackhillty]

look up! the roof is gone! escapar!

[sp45ih]

this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and what a voice!

[terrikitties]

Yeah!!  Anything Grace!

[kenn264]

Grace Slick does rule!

[ioriorioriorio]

'One steroid makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that Arnold gives you,will shrink your balls"...wow, too weird for my head!!!

[FunnyHaHaFunnyHaHa]

Hope those pilots ain't gettin' too high !

[Puyolzor]

Grace Slick rules!

[marcopicker]

Don't known what thinking of that! Strange but not shure to be cool!

[kharmakreep]

holy shit...wow....very strange....but cool
