Shit. They're dropping like flies. RIP.

They are in their 70's, it's about when people drop like flies.

RIP

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall

Frey wasn't in his 70s. Bowie wasn't in his 70s. Only pointing out that a lot of famous musicians have died over the past month.

RIP Paul

Cause 67 and 69 are so far from being 70

[Blarg]

Their livers were probably 90.

RIP Paul

This one's kinda close to home. Back in the day, one of my good friends was an accountant for Bill Graham. I got to see JA when they were in their heyday, from backstage, many times.

My two favorites in memoriam to Paul Kantner.

Rest well, and thank you for the revolution.

2016: The Year the Music Died

 

I've always admired Kantner as a great songwriter, and to this day I listen to his work on an almost daily basis (mostly Jefferson Starship but some Jefferson Airplane).

How weird is it that founding JA member Signe Toly died on the exact same day?

[Homebrewer]

I saw that too, 11.

Very strange.
