Definitely not Slick, and not the Airplane. It is a nice try, though,
it made me dig out the original, Thanks Gunner!

Now *that's* the real stuff! Rockstar kids can dress up vintage and go for
the "retro" vibe, but it's just window dressing.
On a related note, I notice very little modern rock music in commercials
these days. While some may argue that they are just playing to the
(generational) demographic, I think the overwhelming factor is that they
just don't make it like they used to. Modern music sounds flat, and just
doesn't have the soul that the old stuff did.

Sorry bud, she is trying but she just isn't in Grace Slicks league. I had to bail at the
halfway point. Not as a bad as Aerosmiths rendition of "Come Together" though.

At work we have a lot of younger types that tend to play stuff that I have on vinyl. Even
those youngsters know that todays music doesn't measure up. Most tend to play a majority
of stuff from the 60's and 70's. Outside of country where I'll take a liking to a new
song, I can't think of a rock song written recently that I like.

Uh, Wes, how many new rock songs do you listen to? The heavily-produced
stuff that makes it on major radio stations is pretty junky, I agree, but
with a 22-year-old son, I find the CD player in my car full of indie rock
when he goes back to school. Some of it is really good. You won't hear it on
the radio, unless you're within range of a major university FM station.
That band that Gunner pointed to, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, is a
Boston-area band -- very professional, very hot. I disagree about her and
the band, in relation to Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. The
Nocturnals are better musicians than the Airplane, and Potter's cover of
Grace Slick's version, IMO, is every bit as good (They could use a Marty
Balin, though). Slick was one of those rare, real contralto women; you won't
find many of them around (Stevie Nicks was another one), but I thought
Potter did a really good job with that song, even though she can't quite
reach down to the bottom of Grace Slick's range.
I'm trying not to listen to anything older than two or three years for a
while, just to tune in to it. I was getting to be a big White Stripes fan
but my son rolled his eyes and told me I was living in the past. <g> Get up
to date with Dirty Projectors, Xiu Xiu, Band of Horses, and Death Cab for
Cutie. Brooklyn indie rock is hot. Don't become an old fart before your
time. d8-)

There are a few new groups that have some good stuff.
I love the local teens though. They are listening to Black Sabbath, Def
Leppard, Dire Straits, KISS, Ozzy and other 80s stuff. My niece actually
asked me about some of the music thinking they were new groups! I showed
her the files I have and she was shocked at what I listened to. I have
about 15,000 songs in the current library. From the 30's on up. I
converted most of my old DJ stock over. Still have some newer stuff to
convert but it takes a while.

Kids now seem to have a very different sense of time when it comes to music.
Remember when anything older than three or four years was quaint and
ancient? (Maybe you're not that old. In the mid-60s, everything was stood on
its head within a year.) I get a sense of this when I listen to one of my
son's home made CDs and right in the middle of a bunch of indie bands I've
never heard of there will be something from The Doors or Cream. He knows how
old it is; his sense of time, though, distinguishes the wheel of fashion
from the songs that, to kids today, seem to be more or less permanent icons
of rock.
As for the '80s, it must have been in there somewhere, but I missed it. <g>
Dire Straits (and especially Mark Knopfler's guitar solos) are some of my
best recollections from that decade.

<dbi...@wi.rr.com> scrawled the following:
I sat within the quadraphonic area set up at the original California
Jam in Ontario, CA in (when the hell _was_ that, anyway? 1974) and
watched as Keith Emerson sat down on his grand piano bench put on his
seatbelt (!?), and he and his piano lifted and went spinning above the
stage while he played Brain Salad Surgery.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Jam
ELP, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, the Eagles, (and some R&B crap) WOW!
what a show! Black Oak Arkansas had a helicopter, flew over us before
they came on, and dropped something on the crowd. I can't remember WTF
it was.
People were passing around gallon water jugs and just before I took a
swig off one, a friend warned "That's probably electric koolaid" so I
passed the probable acid water on and got up to get a drink of water
at the continuous fountains/washbasins they had set up all along the
center of the infield.

What I listen to, I generally hear against my will at work. I'm into podcasting now. I'd
rather listen to ideas being discussed than some song I know the words too.
It has been a long time since I've heard a song and wanted to know who the artist is so I
could go out and buy some of their work. I still tap my toe or get a smile when a blast
from the past catches my remaining good ear.

Slick set the standard on that song. Potter tried but couldn't keep up. The musicians
behind her may or may not be better but we tend to listen to the vocalist with most of our
attention.
Anyone my age expects Slick and no substitutes.

Actually becoming an old fart saves time for the things I want to spend my time and money
on. ;) AARP keeps sending me membership apps. Good luck on that one AARP.

Well, Slick *wrote* it. For herself. In about an hour, she says. Before she
was singing for the Airplane. (She was with The Great Society when she wrote
it.)
And I'm not going to ask you what you mean by "keep up." <g>

I'm older than you. d8-) And I saw the Airplane in '69, at Atlantic City,
and I don't disagree they were great. If you were a little older you'd
remember them as the first San Francisco acid-rock band that most of us ever
heard, and we were (and still are) crazy about Grace Slick.
But I still disagree about the Nocturnals' cover of the song. It was
excellent. Grace Slick is 70 years old and doesn't sing anymore, anyway. <g>
