1. Well, that makes sense...

.
...you ARE old.
.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
.
The smart money would be on the idea that you aged relatively
better than she.
.
Not me... mind you -- but YOU probably did.
.
I'm getting one of those "separated at birth" vibes... and my
first comparison ain't good.
.
Keepin' it to myself, I is.

2. she's 70

[Capn Sunshine]

3. Really?

damn. I so loved her in 1966. At a show where I finagled my way backstage, She gave me a tambourine once. A wood one, it cracked during a show. I cherished that thing, lost it in a brush fire along with all my other hippie talismans.

[Skittles]

4. yes, 70, and I think she looks wonderful

GO GRACE!!!

[tango-tee]

7. What a beautiful woman!

One of these women who would be beautiful at any age. Who is she?

[Skittles]

8. Grace Slick

now Google! :D

[tango-tee]

12. Don't have to Google...

but how could I not have recognized Grace?

How are you doing, night-owl that you are? It should be about 3 a.m. your time right now.

I have one week of vacation and am enjoying a respite from the salt mines. During those times off the clock I love waking up at about 1 or 2 a.m. There is this sense of peace and quiet out there, I'm free to be who I am at those odd hours with no intrusion from anywhere. Sitting here at my desk with the cat for company, reading, connecting with friends so many miles away. Love it.

[Skittles]

17. oh I'm doing alright

I'm always awake all night; I work nights :D

[tango-tee]

19. Sending a big hug your way, Sis!

and :smoke:

[Skittles]

20. LOL

:D :hi:

[MiddleFingerMom]

10. Grace Slick (of Jefferson Airplane fame)...

.
...and in that second picture, she does look beautiful.
.
The first one she bordered on a manic/scary-eyed look.
.

[tango-tee]

11. Grace Slick??!!!

I loved Grace Slick back in the day! Wow!!!! I think I love her even more now. Man.... Oh, that just made my day!

[tango-tee]

13. Another woman who I think has become more beautiful with age is Joan Baez.

Don't you agree?

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. For me, it's...

.
...Susan Sarandon, who was kind of a hottie back in
her "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Atlantic City"
days... but just keeps growing increasingly beautiful
as she gets older.
.
She was a MOLTEN-LAVA-HOTTIE in that cello-playing
scene from "Witches of Eastwick".
.
LOVES me some cello-playin' woman!!!!
.

[tango-tee]

18. Okay. Now let's look at some of the more mature men...

Anthony Quinn. Talking about going seriously weak in the knees here...

Sigh.

[tango-tee]

29. Hello? MFM?

Sitting here, waiting.

I just posted a world-changing reply.. and.. nothing.

I'll go take a nap.

[tango-tee]

15. That first picture

has a strange, strange resemblance to the way I looked in the 60s. The hair, the face... It's almost like looking into a distant mirror. I'm not one to keep many photographs, but my best buddy hoards hers. And I know there is one photo that is practically interchangeable with the one of young Grace.

[dawg]

34. Impressive!

Because I came of age in the 80's, I usually think of Grace Slick as being a real mess. She looks much better now than the images I have of her from the "Starship" years. But I am always surprised when I see a younger photo of her. By my tastes, she was very, very attractive in a way that doesn't seem as dated as lots of the other photos I see of girls from that era.

Of course, I always forget, and am surprised once again the next time I see a pretty picture of her as a younger woman.

[mix]

36. I agree, I think she looks great! nt

[velvet]

27. Go ask Alice

I reckon by now she knows a thing or two. She's aging very "Grace"fully.

[Suich]

5. OK, I give up!

Who is that?

:hide:

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Yikes!!! Me, too...

:wow: ;(

[Skittles]

9. GRACE SLICK

SCHEDULING YOU BOTH FOR ASS KICKINGS

[Rhiannon12866]

16. But I LOVE Grace Slick!

I just wasn't aware that she got old without me. :-(

[tango-tee]

21. That's the problem about the "growing older" thing.

How can everyone else become so effin' ancient, while I'm still so young? Huh?

[Rhiannon12866]

22. You've got me swinging! LOL.

I am still younger than Grace Slick, always will be, but it's certainly a shocking reminder! :wow:

[tango-tee]

23. Giggling here, Sweets. Let me find some songs to feel young by.

I'm gonna open up the windows and let the music blast. I'll be dancing, and never mind the arthritis.

Hey, that's us: :hippie: :smoke: :headbang:

[tango-tee]

24. Found it. Peter Frampton "Show Me The Way".

Damn, I just now danced my ass off and feel about twenty years younger.

Still.... guess I'd better go looking for the hot water bottle while still able. Ouchie.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. LOL. Thanks! Your neighbors must love you... ;)

Though I did have Jefferson Airplane albums, this is the song that brings back memories... I was at summer camp and my friends in the cabin up the hill used to blast this one while throwing things on our roof... :silly:

25. And que the song.

We built this city, on Rock And Roll.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyPF21qqzVA

The Rock of a strong foundation.

And Justice will Roll down like a Mighty Stream.


Love you Grace, thanks for the years of music :)

[hobbit709]

26. We're all getting there.

[velvet]

28. Ha! abq, you're the same age as me

[abq e streeter]

35. More spare tire here too...oops, never mind, you meant tired.... That too

[dawg]

30. Isn't that the chick ....

who did the backing vocals on "We Built This City"? :evilgrin:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. "Time wounds all heels"

Grace's famous "Girl Scout" photo:



And the rsulting self-portrait that she painted:



:toast:

[Blue_In_AK]

32. I think Grace looks fine.

She looks a lot better than Janis Joplin. Just sayin'.

[tblue]

37. So she was cute at age 12 1/2. Good for her.

A little makeup, a little plastic surgery and she could be like Raquel:

[abq e streeter]

38. Just remember what the dormouse said...

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Since you posted this, I can't get that line out of my head...
