I didn’t see it come up when I posted, okay? Okay. Now that it’s cleared up, I can start with my question.
What the heck is the song “Somebody To Love” about? I’ve been told it’s about the night Sharon Tate was murdered, but I’m not sure…
Hey wait! I found something about it myself!
I don’t see anything going on below the surface here - it’s a trippy, psychedelic-era love song. Nothing seems to connect it to a couple of bloody murders.
We have this new thing now we like to call a “calendar”. It’s used to sort years into order, so that they come after one another in a regular progression.
Under this “calendar” system, the song “Somebody to Love,” which was released in 1966 when Grace Slick was still with the Great Society, could not refer to the Sharon Tate murders, which took place in 1969, or, as your link says, in response to Altamont, which also took place in 1969.
