Yeah, the sixties -- my earliest memories started with the Cuban Missile Crisis, air raid sirens and bomb shelters, followed by JFK in Dallas, riots in Detroit, MLK in Memphis, RFK in Los Angeles, Viet Nam body counts and draft number anxiety. This Covid business is a piece of cake, but at my age there is much less future to worry about.
matt zehentner I went thru the same with early techno here, it was gone sooner than I sobered up, but I have some great memories, and some great memory holes too
RIP the four members of Jefferson Airplane Spencer Dryden (April 7, 1938 - January 11, 2005), aged 66 Paul Kantner (March 17, 1941 - January 28, 2016), aged 74 Marty Balin (January 30, 1942 - September 27, 2018), aged 76 Skip Spence (April 18, 1946 - April 16, 1999), aged 52 You will always be remembered as legends.
I actually saw Jefferson Starship in 1976...I was probably a junior in high school...it was actually a school night..got to really see Grace Slick on a really good night in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Spectrum . It was a really great night.. probably because it was the closest i ever got to a real 1960s band..forever in my memory
@@robertsears3737 Around the same time I was backpacking through Europe on summer break from college. We were on a ferry in Norway and overheard a couple speaking American accented English so introduced ourselves. The guy was named Jorma and I said "Oh, like the Starship band guy." "I am the ..."
Grace Slick was one of the best female vocalists ever. I adore this and have played it since my early teens and I am now 62. Still send shivers up my spine. Peace.
I was in a field in Europe, about 400 people lots of young kids, all dancing and thrashing on magic, The music ? Well that's always been the same and i have no idea why it keeps following me everywhere i go

Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to love ~ 31 Million Views Queen - Somebody to love ~ 415 Million Views Justin Bieber - Somebody to love ~ 481 Million Views 4 years after making this comment, Queen is almost there. Still, I'm sad for this one. The views when I made the comment were: 22 - 49 - 300 Million respectively.
Jefferson Airplane- people are still listening to them, legendary status Queen- the same Bieber- anyone can tell his any "song" without checking in google? Hope died at least dude!
is just youtube, is normal that new songs will be delivered to trending and such. don't you worry, the first 2 songs you mentioned, they have more 'views' since they go launched
Monster song, one of the best ever written by anybody. When I was a kid, I was skeptical about folk rock at first, I wasn't that enamored of Bob Dylan's music, though his words were revolutionary. But this Acid Rock was a whole new ballgame, way cool. I fell in love with Slick's intense vocals and Kaukonen's sinuous, searing guitar solos immediately. Jefferson Airplane were henceforth one of my favorite bands, and still are. There's nothing more Sixties than this.
Democratization and the war against the people empowered through assembly allowing the dollar more political leverage than citizens. Assassinations and Vietnam. More 60's
Say it! Tell it! I was 16 and very open to new experiences. I wasn't dark and I wasn't handsome (in my own opinion) but I was tall and I thank God for the girls who hit on me. Because I found somebody to love. It can happen to you if you're young at heart. God bless you all!
This recalls the many parirs I attended in the sixties and seventies , I was born in 1949 and still believe that I couldn't have lived in a better era or place. I spent my youth in Seattle, Oakland and Anchorage. What a great era!
I'm British but I will always remember my parents' memories of taking a Greyhound bus tour from the east to west coast USA when they were a young married couple in 1970. They adored the whole thing but I remember my mum saying, as the coach turned into San Francisco, that they saw the most beautiful pink sunrise over the rocks (Alcatraz? I don't know, maybe someone with a better knowledge of West Coast US geography than I have can elucidate me) and there was a big peace sign painted on one of the rocks. My mum said it was a perfect ending to a perfect trip. Much love xx (I do miss my Mum)

Gaw, she could belt it out. A decade later, she was wandering the streets of upscale Marin-no, not a redundancy; there's upscale, then there's *upscale*- drunk, swearing, and throwing booze bottles. I had a part-time job at the Marin Independent-Journal and her address would come across the police scanner every weekend. But that voice...
Чак Норрис well thats your opinion buddy! if you hate it then go play gta online or whatever for all i care!!! its a damn shame R* aint adding any dlc content to single player! they only focus on mulitplayer!!
aspire2535 rockstar is the worst gaming company ever !! they didnt even release a next gen game yet !!! they only remastered old stupid idiots games !!! and rdr is the only rockstar game that worth playing !
fear and loathing is the best distillation and presentation of the crazy mind of the late hunter thompson. depp is fully on point and accurately does his mannerisms. its a truly great piece of work. its not surprising that its underrated because the subject matter is this insane drug frenzy that i think most people really dont understand internally.
i've seen lots of thomspon interviews and actually saw him discussing the movie with Depp. truth is depp made him seem a bit cartoonish. not to say thompson wasn't crazy though.
Rest in Peace, Paul Kantner! Another music icon lost. 2016 so far has not been kind to these iconic music legends! The loss of Glenn Frey, David Bowie, and Paul Kantner leave behind an irreplaceable piece of my youth. Your music will live on.
+Diane Hill I am so with you on this. Bowie's death, in particular, hit me very hard as his music had reverberated down the years through my own life. He spoke to me at a time when I most needed an icon to represent me way back when. This dreadful cull of our musical sound-stage leaves me very much in touch with my own mortality.
+Diane Hill answer me this DOSE THIS NOT CONCERN YOU ALL THESE PEOPLE DROPPING DEAD AT ONCE, the PACIFIC OCEAN IS DYING YOU THINK YOU ARE ABOVE THIS DEATH,, WHATS FUKUSHIMA
+Jack Kelly well its about the psychedelic experience. you can still enjoy the song, its a catchy song, you just wont understand the subject matter if you haven't done psychedelic drugs. if you're so certain its not about tripping, what do you think its about?
balancing myself walking on the 5 skidistant lines of the pentagram of : "Somebody to Love", judging myself loved dancing and dodging the musical notes ! Guided by psychedelic sound and voice of Grace Slick !
Jefferson Airplane was my all-time favorite concert back in high school in 1971 they performed here in San Antonio. We were standing on the backs of our seats to get as high as we could to view the band.
"As high as we could to view" And then you didn't need about your ears. And then you didn't need to write about your head. Because maybe, You were as high as you could be.
The worst feeling is that when you love someone but they don't feel the same. The worst part is that you have no one to feel angry towards and so you only blame yourself.
Well some masochistic r'tard is talking shit on her voice on the White Rabbit video... I just left there---he pissed me off lol I love this song too, she has a terrific delivery
Grew up hearing these songs on the AM radio. Listen to the bass in this song, how it runs all over the place, up and down, I mean it never stops. Just unworldy
+GHILLIE WARRIOR 6o year olds reminiscing about taking drugs in the 60s? Must have started early back then cos they'd have been 4-14 years old in that decade.
I really love this song. In it's essence it's almost simplistic. The lyrics repeat itself over and over. But each time when I hear those words I feel a tingle run down my spine, through my stomach and my heart.
Yes..back then people in America had guts, had courage to stand for what they believed! They protested, they made sure their voice were echoed in America and the world! What happened ?? Thats the question that echoes in my mind!
WAS THE MOST SACRED MOMENTS OF AMERICA & IN ALL THE WORLD THE FINAL 60s and the beginning of the 70's . We coud to dream from this instant until to the eternity ! live this magic of these times .
Grace Slick just grabbed the verses on this song and just aggressively crafted some of THE greatest vocal moments in rock music history on this song alone! Check out her thunderous vibrato!
"1965, the great San Francisco acid wave. I recall one night in a place called The Matrix.. there I was.. Mother of god, there I am! Holy fuck! Uh, clearly I was a victim of the drug explosion; A natural street freak, just eating whatever came by."
"Somebody to Love" is a rock song that was written by Darby Slick and originally recorded by 1960s folk rock band The Great Society and later by the psychedelic counterculture rock band Jefferson Airplane. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jefferson Airplane's version No. 274 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time;Jefferson Airplane version[edit] When Grace Slick departed to join Jefferson Airplane, she took this song with her, bringing it to the Surrealistic Pillow sessions, along with her own composition "White Rabbit". Subsequently, the Airplane's more ferocious rock and roll version became the band's first and biggest success; the single by Jefferson Airplane scored at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Somebody to Love" was also a track on their influential album released in February 1967, Surrealistic Pillow. Driven by Slick's forceful vocal, the song's hard-rock sound was atypical of the group's more folk-oriented psychedelia that comprised most of their previous style and some of the album. The lyrics are in the second person, with each two-line verse setting a scene of alienation and despair, and the chorus repeating the title of the song, with slight variations such as: "... / Don't you need somebody to love? / Wouldn't you love somebody to love? / ..." Like the album on which it appeared, this song was instrumental in publicizing the existence of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture to the rest of the United States. This version appears in the film version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when Raoul Duke reminisces about the first time he took LSD at The Matrix club in San Francisco in 1967. The song is also played during prologue in TV movie A Bright Shining Lie (1998), and in A Home at the End of the World (2004). In the 1996 film The Cable Guy, Jim Carrey performs a karaoke version as his character Ernie "Chip" Douglas. Carrey's version is also on the movie's soundtrack. The full, vocal version of the song can also be heard on a radio in the beginning of the Paramount film Four Brothers. The song works as a metaphorical framing device for the Coen brothers' film A Serious Man. The senior Rabbi (Rabbi Marshak) quotes a slightly altered version of the first two lines of the song in his meeting with Danny following Danny's bar mitzvah. The song is featured in episode five of season two of Being Human as the vampire Mitchell explores his residual humanity, through a relationship with a mortal woman. DJ DR. ED/ D J INTERNATIONALS
Ce son est un mélange de tout ce me donne des frissons, musicalement, dans les recoins les plus étriqués de ma conscience, frappé et étourdi par un talent brute, pur, tout droit sorti des vieux ampli dans années 70's. Mon corps est bloqué, figé, mais tout en moi se consume en mémoire d'une époque révolue. Je suis né exactement 48ans trop tard. Merci pour tout Jefferson Airplane, Thanks a lot for your music, buy a ticket, take the ride.
" You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson's airplane. In a little rockumentary called Give Me Shelter, About The Rolling Stones and their nightmare in Altamont. That night the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels had their way. But tonight ... Its my turn ..." - Chip Doughles The Cable Guy

no auge de meus 65 anos e como eterno bicho grilo que sou, meu espírito continua vibrando com essa canção e contemplando a hera de aquário . Maravilhosa banda, maravilhosa era.✌️✌️❤❤
"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.” Such an excellent movie and one of Terry Gilliam's best, along with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Fisher King.
Man, when I was 7 I played the shit out of rabbids go to the moon on my wii. Still remember hearing this song in the supermarket mission. Man, I miss the good old days.
