Muzak and Haight Ashbury

In 1967 did you ever imagine that someday you would hear the psychedelic "Somebody to Love" by Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane played on the "muzak" at a Walgreens pharmacy? For those of us old enough to remember the mind numbing "elevator music" of the 1960's, hearing 'our music' nearly forty years later in the geriatric atmosphere of a pharmacy is a bittersweet irony.

It was all about the drugs then and it's all about the drugs now.;)

BTW - Grace is now 66 years old and the combined ages of the Rolling Stones is 246 years with the youngest Stone being a tender 58.

When I was a kid, Grace Slick was considered a hot chick - and I thought so too!

... not much of a brain though ...

Although I enjoy the old "revolutionary" music, making it elevator music is probably a good thing. : )
