Marty Balin has passed away.

The 60's generation artists/entertainers are coming to, as The Traveling Wilbury's sang, the end of the line. They've been dropping like flies for a while now, and it will only get worse. Most of them are in their mid-70's, some almost 80. That's old!

R.I.P. Marty. Loved the band you started.

We will miss you Marty.

In tribute to Marty check out the Rock Legends episode on Jefferson Airplane. Marty's dedication and passion are evident. 

Listen to Rickie Lee Jones cover of Comin' Back To Me on her Pop Pop lp. It will move you. 

RIP Marty. Cheers,
Spencer

The music that Jefferson Airplane produced with Marty was just so timeless and beautiful. I clearly remember the mid/later seventies when Red Octopus came out , and the albums that followed. I found it so sad and depressing; the fall from this great music to that silly pop stuff. I understand now from what I've read that they wanted to save for their retirement etc. I'm just glad that they were there in the sixties, and created the great music that they did.
