Somebody to Love?

A Rock-and-Roll Memoir

De: Grace Slick, Andrea Cagan

Narrado por: Grace Slick

A candid autobiography of the great rock diva of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, revealing her wild life at the forefront of the Sixties and Seventies counterculture.

She has been called rock and roll's original female outlaw, as famous for her bad behavior as for her haunting singing voice. In her 25-year career as a musician, Grace Slick charted dozens of hits and sold millions of albums. From "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" to "Sarah" and "Miracles", the songs she performed became the anthems of a generation.

Whether describing her antics at the White House with Abbie Hoffman or the unforgettable experience that was Woodstock, Slick's recollections have the same rich imagery found in her lyrics. In this provocative narrative, readers will discover the many sides of Grace Slick: as artistic pioneer; she records songs with Jerry Garcia and David Crosby; as practitioner of freedom and rebellion; she sleeps with Jim Morrison and gets arrested for DUI on three separate occasions (without actually being in a car); and as a loving mother to actress China Kantner, she tries to balance casual friendship with parental wisdom.

Slick offers a revealing self-portrait of the complex woman behind the rock-outlaw image, and delivers a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred view of the people and spirit that defined a quarter-century of American pop culture. Wildly funny, candid, and evocative, Somebody to Love?tells what it was really like during, and after, the Summer of Love-and how one remarkable woman survived it all to remain today as vibrant and rebellious as ever.©1998 Grace Slick; (P) and ©1998 Time Warner AudioBooks (Packaging Elements Only), A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing

Her story telling

I really enjoyed hearing her thoughts,memories and perspectives of our American renaissance of the 1960’s.

The Entertainment Queen

Grace is definitely entertaining. Enjoyed her funny and sarcastic narration and thought the story well written. She fully owns up to her actions. I prefer that kind of honesty over the politically correct B.S.

unbridled wildness and freedom

the way that Grace speaks and writes is super creative and colorful. She reminds us all that there is no perfect cut story to any artist. I love her perception of the way that things went, and I feel like she's at peace with all of it. What a rollercoaster of a ride! Honesty humility is awesome, considering the amount of talent she has

short but entertaining

Grace narrates her life story and is surprisingly funny while doing so. she was and still is a very free spirit.
