fans of artists like mccartney, debbie harry, and (even) stevie have good reasons to keep pleased with what they're still getting, on the other hand, grace slick's last years in commercial recording (exhibit a: We Built This City) were indeed something to keep one embarrassed about for years.
grace had tons of attitude and abilities, but nothing much to back it up in other aspects; she couldn't break free from her own "fleetwood mac", record her own "bella donna", and recreate a significant musical/iconic impact in her own right.
what i find interesting is how she didn't manage to consolidate a proper recognition to her contribution to rock's evolution, stevie, on the other hand, seems to be obsessed by those efforts in the last few years.
in a way, grace slick is like those chinese that sailed to america; history is being written by winners, and janis became the Columbus.

I'm sorry...who is Debbie Harry??
