The nurse took Grace seriously, and her reports of the incident caused both a minor stir[4] and the birth of a rock-and-roll urban legend. [5]

Musical career

During her musical career, Slick was a member of several rock bands: The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, and Jefferson Airplane's successor bands, Jefferson Starship and Starship. For the political action of President Johnson see Great Society The Great Society was a 1960s San Francisco Rock band in the Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the Psychedelic rock movement Jefferson Starship is an American rock band that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s

The song "Do It the Hard Way" from Dreams is one example of how Grace was viewing her life and concerns at the time. [7]

Alongside her close contemporary Janis Joplin, Slick was an important figure in the development of rock music in the late 1960s and was one of the first female rock stars. Janis Lyn Joplin ( January 19, 1943  – October 4, 1970) was an American singer songwriter and music arranger from The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969 Her distinctive vocal style and striking stage presence exerted a definite influence on other female performers, including Stevie Nicks [8], Patti Smith[9], Sandy Denny and Dolores O'Riordan.

Like Joplin, Slick's uncompromising persona and powerful voice helped to open up new modes of expression for female performers, giving a new legitimacy to the role of the female lead singer in the male-dominated world of rock music.

Grace was given the nickname "The Chrome Nun" by David Crosby, who also referred to Paul Kantner as "Baron von Tollbooth". David Van Cortlandt Crosby (born August 14, 1941) is an American Guitarist, Singer, and Songwriter.

Run-Ins with law enforcement

Patricia "Tricia" Nixon Cox (born February 21, 1946, in Whittier, California) is the first daughter of the late U Finch College was a Baccalaureate Women's college located in Manhattan, New York City, New York. Grace was invited to a tea party for the alumnae at the White House in 1969. See also Executive Office of the President of the United States The White House, formerly known as the Executive Mansion, is the Official residence She invited the political activist Abbie Hoffman to be her escort, and planned to spike President Nixon's tea with LSD. Abbot Howard "Abbie" Hoffman (November 30 1936 &ndash April 12 1989 was a radical social and political activist in the United States who co-founded the The plan was thwarted when they were prevented from entering after being recognized by White House security personnel. [10]

In 1971, after a long recording session, she crashed her Mercedes into a wall near the Golden Gate Bridge while racing with Jorma Kaukonen.

Bark, released in 1971 is one of the late-period albums by Jefferson Airplane, notable for many "firsts" with its major personnel change [12]

While Slick was involved in several run-ins with the law while a part of Jefferson Airplane, she was arrested individually at least three times for what she has referred to as "TUI" ("Talking Under the Influence") and "Drunk Mouth". [13] While technically the charges were DUI, the three arrests mentioned in her autobiography occurred when she was not actually inside a vehicle.

The first occurred after an argument in the car with then-partner Paul Kantner, who grew tired of bickering, pulled the car keys from the ignition, and tossed them through the car window onto someone's front lawn. While Slick crawled around on the lawn looking for the keys, a police officer arrived and asked what was going on. Her response (laughter) didn't amuse the officer, and she was taken to jail.

The second time occurred after Slick neglected to check the oil level in her car engine and flames began leaping out from under the hood. When an officer arrived and, as previously, asked what was going on, her response that particular time was less amusement and more sarcastic. With her car belching fire, it seemed obvious to her what was going on. As a result of her quip, she was taken to the Marin County jail. March 11, 1889 |

The third arrest happened after an officer caught her sitting against a tree trunk in the back woods of Marin County drinking wine, eating bread, and reading poetry. When the officer, again, asked what was going on, her sarcastic response landed her back in the Marin County jail. [14]

In 1978, Grace arrived drunk at a Jefferson Starship concert in Germany. Jefferson Starship is an American rock band that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s She verbally attacked the crowd and attempted to sing[15]. The next day she left the group. She was admitted to a detoxification facility at least twice, once in the 1970s at Duffy's in Napa Valley [16] and once in the 1990s with daughter China. [17] Slick has publicly acknowledged her alcoholism, discussed her rehab experiences, and commented on her use of LSD, marijuana and other substances in her autobiography, various interviews, and in several celebrity addiction and recovery books including The Courage to Change by Dennis Wholey and The Harder They Fall by Gary Stromberg and Jane Merrill. Dennis Wholey (born July 2, 1939, Cranston Rhode Island) is an American Television host and producer, and the

Semi-retired life

Slick left Starship in 1988 at age 48. Following a brief Jefferson Airplane reunion and tour the following year, she retired from the music business. Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the Psychedelic rock movement During a 1998 interview with VH1 on a Behind the Music documentary featuring Jefferson Airplane, Slick, who was never shy about giving her age, stated that the main reason she retired from the music business was that "all rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire. VH1 (known as VH-1 Video Hits One from 1985 to 1994 and VH1 Music First until 2003) is an American Cable television Behind the Music was a Television series on VH1 that ran from 1997 to 2006, and continues to air sporadically with new episodes " Even so, she has made a couple of appearances over the years with Paul Kantner's revamped version of Jefferson Starship when the band has played in Los Angeles, the most recent being a post 9/11 gig where she came on the stage initially covered in black from head to toe in a make-shift burqa, which she removed to reveal a covering bearing an American Flag and the words "F--- Fear". Her statement to fans on the outfit was "The outfit is not about Islam, it's about repression; this flag is not about politics, it's about liberty. "[19]

After retirement from music, she turned her attention to painting and drawing. She has done many renditions of her fellow '60s musicians such as Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, and others. Janis Lyn Joplin ( January 19, 1943  – October 4, 1970) was an American singer songwriter and music arranger from Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia (August 1 1942 &ndash August 9 1995 was a Musician, Songwriter, Artist, and Lead guitarist and In 2000, she began displaying and selling her artwork. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. She attends many of her art shows all across the United States.

She has generally stayed away from music, although she did perform on "Knock Me Out", a track from In Flight, the 1996 solo debut from former 4 Non Blondes singer, and friend of daughter China, Linda Perry. 4 Non Blondes were an American rock band formed in 1989 They consisted of bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Shaunna Hall, drummer Wanda Day Linda Perry, born April 15 1965 in Springfield Massachusetts, to parents of Portuguese and Brazilian descent is an American rock musician The song also appeared on the soundtrack to The Crow: City of Angels. The Crow City of Angels is a 1996 Action film and a Sequel to the Cult film The Crow.

In a 2001 USA Today article, she said, "I'm in good health and people want to know what I do to be this way. USA TODAY is a national American daily Newspaper published by the Gannett Company. . . I don't eat cheese, I don't eat duck — the point is I'm vegan. . . " However, she also admits that she's "not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it. "[20]

Grace released her autobiography, Somebody to Love? A Rock and Roll Memoir in 1998 and narrated an abridged version of the book as an audiobook. An autobiography, from the Greek αὐτός autos "self" βίος bios "life" and γράφειν graphein "to write" Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) A biography, Grace Slick, The Biography by Barbara Rowes was released in 1980 and is currently out of print.

In 2006, Grace suffered from diverticulitis. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Diverticulitis is a common Digestive disease particularly found in the Large intestine. After initial surgery, she had a relapse requiring further surgery and a tracheotomy.

In (2004), Grace had an American Quarter Horse named after her, Emeralds Grace Slick, a 2004 grulla mare bred and raised by Emerald Hills Farm, Smock, PA. Emeralds Grace Slick now lives in Aurelia, IA.

Visual Art

After retirement from the music business — and after a devastating house fire, divorce, and bad break-up — Slick began drawing and painting animals, mainly to amuse herself and because doing so made her happy during a difficult period in her life. Soon thereafter, she was approached about writing her memoir, which ultimately became Somebody to Love? A Rock-and-Roll Memoir. Her agent saw her art work and asked her to do some portraits of some of her various contemporaries from the rock and roll genre to be included in the autobiography. Hesitant at first — because she thought “…it was way too cute. Rock-n-Roll draws Rock-n-Roll. ” — she eventually agreed because she found she enjoyed it; and color renditions of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jerry Garcia appeared in the completed autobiography. [22] [23] In addition, an “Alice in Wonderland” themed painting and various other sketches are scattered throughout the book.

Though Slick has been drawing and painting since she was a child, she admits to not being able to multi-task, and therefore didn’t do it much while she was focusing on the various bands and music she was involved with during her musical career. [24] One notable exception is the cover art of her first solo album Manhole, which she signed “Child Type Odd Art by Grace” on the front cover.

Slick isn’t faithful to any specific style or medium in her production of visual art and has no interest in developing one. [25] She uses acrylic paints (she says oil takes too long to dry), canvas, pen, ink, scratchboard, pastels, and pencil. Many of her works are mixed media. Her styles range from the children’s bookish “Alice in Wonderland” themes to the realism of the Rock and Roll portraits and scratchboards of animals to the minimalist Japanese sumi-styled nudes to a variety of other subjects and styles. [26] The best selling prints and originals are, not surprisingly, her various renditions of the white rabbit and the portraits of her colleagues in the music industry. [27] In 2006, the popularity of her “Alice in Wonderland” works led to a partnership with Dark Horse Comics, Inc. that resulted in the release of stationery and journals with the “Wonderland” motif. [28]

While critics have alternately panned and praised her work[29], Slick seems indifferent to the criticism. She views her visual artistry as just another extension of the artistic temperament that landed her in the music scene in the first place as it allows her to continue to produce art in a way that doesn’t require the physical demands of appearing on a stage nightly or traveling with a large group of people. [30] [31]

She attends many of her art gallery shows across the United States, sometimes attending over 30 shows in a year. While she says she enjoys talking with the people who come to her art shows, she is not a fan of the traveling involved, particularly the flying. [32] At most of her art shows, those who purchase a piece of her art get a photo with Slick, an opportunity to chat, and a personalized autograph on the back of the piece that has been purchased.

Area Arts is her art distributor in the United States, and The Limelight Agency is her world-wide art distributor.
