On Wearing White...

... it doesn't make it luculent 

 nor luminous. 

...no... 

It doesn't 

AT ALL. 

High Luculence...?

Like, when the luculent factor hits the mark, at high noon...? 

No - not quite that...! 

In this year of Our Lord two-thousand and nineteen (2019 - which means we are really celebrating the Sexy Year; nineteen sixty-nine! Or, if you will, 1969) there are so many 50th anniversaries of note - yes, so many - but none more so than the Woodstock performance of this landmark song - by Grace Slick! 

G.S. was one of the most emancipated, liberated, uninhibited 

(meaning: promiscuous and debauched) women of ROCK 

ever to, er, grace the stage and/or music scene!
All that - and MORE: like an accomplished songwriter
(who wrote them like me: with a melody in her head, but
not written of note sheets whatsoever - not knowing how
to write music per say!)
and what a voice - a true songstress siren-like voice! 

She's inspired MILLIONS - upon millions! 

She's done it all - and she's still ALIVE, in 2019!!! 

Amazing... er... Grace? 

She was high, when she sang this on stage 

 - oh yeah... she was HIGH! 

The (almost?) full set, including the other huge hit
- or timeless tune, as I prefer to phrase it -
that Jefferson Airplane/Starship is remembered for
- never mind their '80s comeback stuff;
even Slick is not too fond of it! -
also from Woodstock '69: 

And the original, official video: 

In an interview on some new cable channel 

desperate for content and viewers 

that had just hired him to do this sort of thing 

- an interview show, duh - 

airhead Howard Stern asked Grace Slick 

this deeply inane question 

regarding WHITE RABBIT: 

"did you know, when you wrote this song, 

that it was going to be a hit?" 

And Grace enlightened the poor schmuck 

(who really should know better) 

"it wasn't like that back then! 

Hits were candy-coated tunes like 

Frankie Avalon used to sing; 

we were not out to write a "hit" 

we just aimed at writing the best possible 

song that we could write!" 

DUH! 

 

AND NOW - IN 2019 - it is so amusing to see 

this marquee song being used on 

CELEBRITY X CRUISES 

commercials... 

... as well as being covered 

- and quite well at that - 

over and over again :

__________

OKAY - not quite that last one there...!!! 

NOT BAD AT ALL; 

FOR A SONG ABOUT DOING DRUGS, 

QUITE BASICALLY... HUH? 

Let Every Night Be... A Ball In White!

''Ball'' as in BAL... duh!

or dinner...

or night out...

or evening out!

#EveryNightIsALuminousNight

... for the Luminous Couple, especially!

Is that clear enough, for ya?
