"Rock and Roll icon Grace Slick recently did an interview with Leah Pietrusiak of Time Out Chicago and spoke about trying to slip then President of the United States Richard Nixon some acid.

Leah: Okay, tell me about trying to slip Richard Nixon acid at the White House.

Grace Slick: See, Trish Nixon’s daughter went to Finch College, and it was so small that she invited all of the alumni to a tea at the White House. But my name when I went there was Grace Wing, that doesn’t mean anything right? Now, Grace Slick meant something.

So I get an invitation to the White House and I call up Abbie Hoffman and say [Sing-songy] “Guess what I have….I’ve got an invitation to the White House.” So I put 600 mics of acid under a long fingernail I had for cocaine, and we go and we’re standing in line, and the security guard comes up to me and says, “I’m sorry you can’t go in. You’re a security risk.” And I go, “What?!” And he says, “You’re on the FBI list.” And I go, “What?!?!” And I found out that the members of Jefferson Airplane were on a list because of “suspect lyrics.”

They didn’t know why I was a security threat, but they were right.

---------------------------

I grew up in the '60s/'70s and thought The Airplane's music was pretty good, and Grace? Let's just say her and I had an "intimate" relationship even though we'd probably never been in the same county at the same time, not to mention the age difference.

But wow, just fucking WOW... this ASS thought she was cool, and she could have actually lit the fuse that exploded the "bomb(s)" that brought the FUCKING world to an end, seeing as how the guy with "the football" was never more than a few dozen feet away from Richard Nixon.
