So I'm reading Grace Slick's autobiography (I'll be honest with you, what tipped the balance with me on taking this one home from the warehouse book outlet was a really cool cover, but she has a nice jazzy narrative rhythm most of the time) and I come to this passage:

Because I have the Robin Williams disease -- If-you-can-remember-the-sixties-you-werent-really-there-itis -- I've blanked on what country the Strawberry Fuck was actually in, so I called author Danny Sugarman, who probably knows more about The Doors than they know about themselves.

What countries did we play with The Doors? I asked him.

He gave me the Frankfurt, Copenhagen, London, Amsterdam list.

And where, if you could possibly figure this out, would we have been when I fucked Jim?

Danny took a long pause, and then he said You know, Grace, I'm glad you're telling everybody you screwed Jim. You can't believe the amount of ugly women whove claimed to have fucked him.

I think we can agree that this is the kind of thinking that has made Danny the pagan demigod that he is among prepubescent boys who blew off school to follow a rock band around the country and do drugs and market the resulting ouevre to middle America for the rest of their lives.

Bravo. If I were a sexist, I would say Brava.

For some reason I find myself wondering if Patricia Kenneally is still signing her fantasy novels Patricia Kenneally-Morrison.

She was the last time I saw her (granted, that was about two years ago)

I know this is a long shot

but do you have any idea why her website is no longer working. She seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know - I haven't spoken to her in ages - but I did see her at the Farmer's Market last weekend

Would it mean I'm a bad person ...

... if I say I think that's hilarious?

Because it is. Really.

I remember those days kinda like Gracey but I never did Jim altho I might have had I had the chance. heh

May I recommend an awesome more contemporary song featuring Grace Slick and Linda Perry (songwriter, formerly of 4 Non Blondes, up for a 2004 Grammy as songwriter of Christina's Beautiful) titled "You Knocked Me Out" from The Crow, City of Angels soundtrack? Simply amazing!
