Mykesbass Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Guess it is a case of the rock pioneers reaching older age: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35438191"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35438191[/url] Quote
timmo Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 That is sad news. I really liked Jefferson Airplane. Quote
DunRockin Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 As Mykesbass said, we're in that time when the great pioneers will be leaving us. I loved those early Airplane albums. RIP. Quote

timmo Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 How strange. I just read that Signe Anderson, the original singer of Jefferson Airplane died on the same day, as Paul, at the same age. Quote
