Marty Balin RIP

I heard he was suing the hospital that caused him to lose his voice just the other day, and now I heard he passed away today.

Jefferson Airplane - sorry to hear this, R.I.P.

[ghost of miles]

As a grade-school kid in the late 70s I had seized upon the classic Jefferson Airplane hits as galvanizing favorites, but man oh man did I bliss out to some of the Balin-penned or sung Jefferson Starship songs that top 40 radio was playing back then—“Miracles,” “With Your Love,” “Runaway,” “Count On Me.” Lots of great sunny-70s-FM-radio-afternoon memories courtesy of Mr. Balin.
