i got to see the Airplane in 1989 on their reunion tour, something I never thought their egos would allow. It was an awesome show. I was surprised by how much and how well they jammed. And the soaring, dueling vocals of Marty and Grace were in fine form. Also got a Hot Tuna mini-set. It was one of the highlights of my concertgoing career.

RIP to a great voice.

Yeah, heard that on the way home from work, dammit.   My favorite era of the Airplane/Starship...  RIP.

Lingering effect of having listened to ‘We Built This City.’ That song is fucking asbestos.

Nothing else matters [/Hetfield/Ulrich]  God what a fucking awesome album, the best they did, I mean really the best. 

Remember he got knocked out cold at Woodstock.

RIP.

It was funny. It is a mark in the win column that neither he nor Kantner had anything to do with that song.
