And we end so tastefully with Jefferson Starship, getting a taste of the real world and Miracles.
The looooong version?
I've always loved this song, though I didn't pick up the part about Grace tasting like the real world until much later. Adolescent Dave would have been even more enamored of the song if he'd known.
Was that Grace or Marty singing that line?
Marty sings the actual line but the implication is that it's Grace who is being, um, pleasured.
Yep, that's how I read it. And when I saw them at the Greek Theatre, those two acted it out. Sort of.
Similarly when the Starship played
Better Lying Down from Grace's Manhole during one of
their Central Park concerts in the mid-70s. My favorite Grace Slick bawdy song is
Across the
Board from Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun.
"man's only got one finger
He doesn't need anymore..."
