Starship as Deity

[Babs]

Does it get any better than Sara? I think not.

Sure sara's not bad but diety? And what does it have to do with Starship?

You worship a false god. To this day, I cannot believe that the same Grace Slick, who belted out some of the greatest tunes of the '60s, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," is the one responsible for such '80s pablum as "We Built This City" and (I weep as I type this) "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," a song so bad it was selected as the theme song for Mannequin.

The change to Grace Slick was similar to that of Jack Nicholson's at the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

what-EVER. Next you're going to tell me you think Chicago went downhill in the 80s. Right before my very eyes!

Sheesh, you really do know how to push buttons. Your poor husband. Chicago. Really.

Amen, brother.

I will admit to liking "Jane", however.

And here it is.

The problem with Starship is that it is a perfect emblem of how babyboomers changed from the late 60s to the early 80s. Boomers always despise The Ship, because it reminds them that they sold out. They went from pot, peace, despising Nixon, and hippie rock, to cocaine, McDonald's, loving Reagan, and corporate pop. If you had done that, you'd lash out too.

For those without such spiritual baggage, The Ship cranked out catchy, but mindless pop songs. These songs are beloved by those who feel nostalgic for their youth when they walk by Claire's in the mall. Oddly,the part in "We Built this City" with the DJ describing the SF Bay commute captures the 80s zeitgeist rather well.

Nevertheless, Fleetwood Mac is much more worthy of worship/mind control. The albums with Christine McVeigh are especially worth lobotomizing yourself over.

This is so wrong. I became a Carl's Jr. guy. McDonald's sucks.

I am embarrassed to admit that I liked "We built this City". However, in my defense, I grew up in the boonies (South Carolina), before cable television became widespread, and we only had really one or two radio stations, both of which played only top-40 stuff. I literally had no idea there was good stuff out there.

It is amazing what happens to people when they finally have something vested. The great hippie idealism was killed by the system. Not be reforming hippies but by eventually providing them something that they cared enough about to defend. What is it ol Winston Churchill once said about liberals and conservatives?

Another wise fellow once said "you can buy ANYTHING in THIS world with money." But he is usually an opera fag.

I submit that Starship's "Miracles" is the sexiest song of all time. Grace Slick really added to the moment with some nice background noises.
