			<description>I have mixed feelings about this.  Its wonderful the drum tech knows all the song and can sit in for replacement.  But if the drummer is rushed to the hospital and they ask the crowd for prayers is it the right thing to do to continue the concert?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>There are fights in all bands but Jefferson Airplane/Starship's history and infighting is fascinating.  It makes Fleetwood Mac seem like Buddhist Monks.  When they fought they put their own band members in hospitals.  Its incredible how Grace Slick just walked into the band when the other female singer had a baby.  No audition and they blew up.  Then wild success comes the fighting and they could not use the name Jefferson Airplane and changed it to Jefferson Starship. They started out as sort of acid rock in the late 60s and then morphed into folksy rock in the 1970s.  Who remembers Peter Jennings at the 1992 Democratic convention talking about Don't Stop was by Jefferson Starship.  They did similar mid 70s rock.  I knew this before watching this video but how Grace Slick got fired from the band is beyond freaking cool and crazy.  This video tells a slightly different version of the events.  Either the band had to cancel a gig because Grace was too drunk to go on stage or they played without her.  Either way the crowded rioted because the show was cancelled or the crowd was chanting her name when she was not on stage.  Because of this the next night they forced her to go on stage.  She dressed as Hitler and was yelling obscenities at the West Germans telling them how the United States kicked their ass in World War 2. The bands 1984 Nuclear Furniture album was good.  They had 2 songs make top 5 rock charts but not much pop success or album success.  The band got sued again and had to change it to Starship.  They went total pop and had 3 #1 songs in 18 months.  Yet Grace could not do it anymore.  Some say We Built This City is the worst song ever recorded.   The demo was an anti establishment punk and rock song but they turned it really pop and made it a different song especially drowning out the meaning of the song.  So many lead singers it was hard to keep up.  Grace's only baby and daughter came from a band member. They used to hire the Hells Angels as security.  Once at a major concert a band member argued with one of the bikers in his beatings of fans and the biker came on stage and punched the band member.  <br />
<br />
I must say Grace Slick was always the best guest on David Letterman.  She is a mind f*** to listen to.<br />
<br />
Now THIS is a wild band<br />
