This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It brought tears to my eyes then (I was 18) and still does today. Had a crush on Grace Slick, fantastic voice. The young should listen to some of this stuff to hear what music good is.
The song was written about the ja's Drummer I believe when he turned 30.
The clip is from the Smothers Brothers that aired in the 60's they were in Nixon's enemy list so were the ja probably it was a long list.
