Maybe because I read about the house the band bought in San Fran last night or maybe just because of the No Kings protests, but it was the first song I heard today.
The four-story Neoclassical Revival mansion at 2400 Fulton was built in 1904 by a lumber magnate from Eureka named R.A. Vance. At the time, the area north of the park, which would become the Richmond District, was little more than sand dunes. Vance, who had made a fortune up north in lumber and banking, spared no expense in building his lavish San Francisco home.

Grace said she slept with every member of the band except Marty in that house. Or to put it another way, everybody in the band slept with Grace Slick.

(20,916 posts)Judging by the No Kings protests I've been to it's still that same dwindling generation doing all the heavy lifting.
If you change one word it's still a pertinent song.
𝚘̷𝚗̷𝚎̷ Our generation got old
𝚘̷𝚗̷𝚎̷ Our generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey, now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on, now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
