Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner dies at 74
Aidin Vaziri | on January 28, 2016

Paul Kantner, one of the giants of the San Francisco music scene, died Thursday, Jan. 28, of multiple organ failure. Mr. Kantner, founding member of the Jefferson Airplane, was 74 and had suffered a heart attack earlier this week.

His death was confirmed by longtime publicist and friend, Cynthia Bowman, who said he died of multiple organ failure and septic shock..

Mr. Kantner suffered from a string of health problems in recent years, including a heart attack in March 2015.

With Jefferson Airplane, Mr. Kantner pioneered what became known as the San Francisco sound in the mid-1960s, with such hits as "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit."

I'd respect DUmmies' grief when their heroes die if they weren't such assholes when their "enemies" die.

As usual, no one the DUmmies like is ever allowed to die, ever:

1. One more part of our musical history. The soundtrack of boomers' youth.

8. So sad.

I used to live by these guys when they had their house on Bolinas beach.

Should Keith Richards be getting nervous?

32. Lemmy, David Bowie, Glen Frey, and now Paul Kantner.

The music of my youth is starting to die off.

Damn I'm feeling old.

RIP Paul

And so on.

One bright spot: the DUmmies who recall Jefferson Skywalker or whatever fondly are also getting on in years, which means they might die, soon, too.

If only we had single-payer healthcare, he might still be alive today.

Oh, well. Seasons don't fear the reaper, the rain falls on the just and unjust alike, and the sun doesn't shine twice on the same dog's ass.

Or something.
