been with of course
the jefferson airplane and the jefferson starship this is their latest album
right here it's
entitled no protection folks please welcome back to this show grace slick oh
great
do you know that our lead singer in starship his name is mickey thomas and he
has a close personal
working relationship with anton fig anton fig our fine drummer what what do uh
what do they do
together they they write music well there's a song on the album on this album
that we're plugging i
noticed you mentioned to tony randall earlier i love you because you're not
plugging anything and you
don't love me because i am plugging something no but i i'm upset with you for
another reason though
i'll tell you that in a minute you can plug all you want okay there's a song
called transatlantic that
they didn't just play uh and anton uh wrote that yeah well it would have been
nice to have heard
that tonight it would have but anton didn't teach it to the band did he no but
now why now grace why
didn't you come on the show and sing something from the album you could have
sung anything you wanted
thank you we we we wanted to hear you sing we desperately wanted to have you on
so we could
hear you sing and then we'd visit a little bit oh i'd make something up but i'm
not going to it's
just terrible horrifying blind fear is what it is well i go through that nightly
so i know exactly i know
exactly what you're talking about now uh your daughter is she on this mtv all
the time well that's up for
grab she does it during the summer and then she did it last summer and then
went to school her name
is china her last name is and well some people call her slick some people call
her cantner it depends
upon uh who you like or don't like or what you can remember what do you call
her i call her the
goon the goon actually yeah and she is now a vj on mtv yeah yeah and so she may
uh or may not be full uh on vj that's up to mtv
uh-huh uh and she's just a kid 17 right she's 16 16. she's pretty good at it
though i think well yeah
i'm sure she is but in all fairness to the rest of us how good do you have to
be to introduce videos
you have to be at least 16. i think all the vj's ought to be 16. you know
because then it's more kind
of honest yeah we aren't lying about our brain level or anything else now uh
does does your daughter
love was that wrong was that cruel was that stupid was it sarcastic no it was
fine it was fine uh now
how does your daughter enjoy the music that you were responsible for 15 years
ago i don't think she
cares one way or the other really she likes duran duran and she likes uh what
she ought to like which is uh
uh people who are more or less modern although she does like david bowie and
she likes the idea
of uh what i do in other words the fact that i am rock in rock and roll she
likes i'm not sure
if the as i said before on some other network our music blows her skirt up or
anything but she
thinks it's all right blows her skirt up now this is your own daughter you're
talking about here let me
mention mickey thomas's name again because that's actually his line when he's
lukewarm about something
he says well i don't know it doesn't really blow my skirt up and i just stole
it from him and it's
stupid because it doesn't make any sense uh involving a woman what is all this
stuff what do you mean what
is all this stuff well i mean does that do something well yeah what do you mean
does it do so you think
we'd put that there if it didn't do something okay you want to see a tight shot
of this stuff here
and like maybe put the camera right over it and then have it do whatever it
does that'd be good
should paul should we show it to her or not don't aim it at me though just show
it
i think i think i've just had a spiritual experience yeah i bet that would blow
what's
his name skirt up huh that would do it um but now let's talk a minute more here
about your
daughter was there ever a point in your relationship when she had listened to
your music or saw you guys
perform or heard a song on the radio no no no and came to you and said geez i
really enjoy this or
really i really think this is nice or oh yeah she was mad we put the first
single which is what they
played it's not over till it's over uh she said what's the first single going
to be and i told
her and she said that's crazy it ought to be transatlantic she loves that song
so she does make uh
real specific comments about what she likes and doesn't like yeah but i mean
the i'm not just saying
that because the early the early stuff was there ever a point where she it dawned
on her that her
mother was a rock and roll star and this was the music she was responsible for
no she was embarrassed
by us for a while really that's interesting i had a delorean which is a mistake
kind of but i had one
do you still have the delorean no no but it has the delorean had things that
come up like that the
the seat windows doors what do you call they were gold wings they would come up
and they came up like
this and she was a preppy when she was about eight or whatever it was and she
wouldn't let me drive
that to school to pick her up because it was too flashy yeah she didn't want me
to wear black and
boots and all that but now we're friends she's just as foolish as i am uh you
worked as a model for a
while yeah i worked as a model before i started in this business but i wouldn't
have lasted long
because there's a problem with my legs see how tall are you david uh six eight
six eight
from the very bottom of my butt and the very bottom of your butt to the top of
both of our heads would
probably measure the same or even from the knee to the top of our heads would
measure the same amount
of inches but from here to here my legs are as long as about a four foot tall
human being
something happened there's like this is really short here it's uh it's truncated
it's it's well no it's
wrong is what it is and it's too short so i wouldn't have gotten out of san
francisco as a model they
don't send short legs to la or new york yeah but i was a model for a while
where did you work as a
model in the couturier department of eye magnets oh so you would model the fashions
there yeah you
put on a eight thousand dollar uh suit every 15 minutes you change it and walk
around model it for
these that must get to be old after a while well no there were old people
though that had the money
to buy them and they'd come out and say oh dear you must do something put a
little cream on
your elbows and i cream on my elbows i'm 20 years old and you're 85 who cares
if i have cream on my
elbows so it's a fun job exciting too uh jesus nice to see you again yeah now
listen now see it right
here the next time you come in here on the show sing something please
oh oh god another commitment no it'll be it'll be fine you'll love it
everything where you got like
three months to think this over it'll be great thanks we'll be right back here
