Happy Birthday Grace

I don't really think it's so much that she doesn't CARE about the music back in the 60s, 70s, etc...it's just that it's so long ago and I mean, for us, we listen to that music and live it each day...she doesn't. She moved on ages ago. It was her REAL life, you know? Her actual life, whereas for us, it's a passive sort of music life. (this probably makes sense)

I think if she didn't care about what she did forty years ago, there wouldn't be references to it in her paintings, and this website would be an amateur effort. On the other hand, I doubt that she bothers reading what we're saying about her. That's her management's job.

No, i don't think she is reading here. Why not ? I could believe that she doesn't
care anymore about Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship. Only her own music,
things she is doing with Michelle Mangione ; (you can see her name there !)

Puulease. It seems like yesterday to her folks. I know 'cause I've been around since the beginning of time

I think to a certain extent also, the personal stuff that went on and the creativity in terms of the music, are separate...in terms of how she (and anyone else) remembers stuff and feels about it. A bit.

To say she doesn't care about the MUSIC is not to say she doesn't care about her LIFE back then...although obviously they were entwined together...

But I mean that she's still making music now in her own way...and she never STOPPED really. I think in that most recent interview, or another recent one maybe, she said she had hundreds of songs she'd written, and before that, she said she was always singing around the house and in the car and stuff...

But she's also said she always does something creative...whether it's singing, music, painting, drawing, etc. She said if she couldn't sing anymore, she'd paint, if she couldn't do that anymore she'd act, if not that, interior design. Anything creative.

So...like many things creative, once you've finished a particular creation, you move on. You have to in order to create NEW things that inspire you.

I wrote songs a few years ago, some of which are still not finished (grr!) but others I just have no interest in them anymore, and that's not to say I don't CARE about them or that I dislike them or something. They're just...DONE. You know? It's all good.
