Psychedelic/Acid Rockers

A side note: they were called psychedelic/acid rockers were cause they were on LSD (acid), which causes them to see psychedelic images. Those acid made them into some fantastic rockers. Rock on, rock goddess.

Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane was of the psychdelic era. She may have been 'one of the guys,' but she made a name for herself beyond being 'one of the guys' She was awesome. She outshone the guys. She sings Psychedelic rock, acid rock, hard rock. Though she's not as well known now as in her heyday (60s), she's still is a hard rocker. She is from the old boys' school, but she was allowed to enter cause she was sang w/ the boys.

Her stage name, Grace Slick says it all. It says she is cool and confident and I don't care what people think of me. The guys in her band-Jefferson Airplane-didn't treat her any different just cause of her sex; they treated like an equal. All that matter to them was her wonderful emotional voice.

I guess all old-timers (Janis Joplin for one) are emotional. What I like best about the late Janis Joplin was the way she sang her songs w/ such raw emotion. I never heard a singer sing w/ such raw emotion before. Oh those pop singers of late don't count. They don't have much talent as either Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. They are so superficial; they have no substance. Lame the 9th degree. Now that I think about it, even dance videos (though they're my fave) are demeaning to women, showing them as sexual objects, not as human beings. Janis Joplin sang w/ such raw emotion, such emotional energy. She was no fake. She knew who she was and went for it; too bad she didn't realize her potential. Too bad she had to make all these mistakes, but I guess to human is to err in the way of the life. Many talented singers, not just the late, great Janis Joplin, died of an overdose and not just only singers.
