I’m too young to remember Jefferson Airplane in their heyday but I did get to see them on their 1989 reunion tour, and I believe I am a better person for it today.

Thank you, Mr. Kantner, and RIP.

> Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane died apparently. He experienced multiple organ failure after a heart attack earlier this week. It’s a BAD month for classic rock & roll.
