Zappa and Grace Slick
Zappa wanted (according to a 1969 Rolling Stone interview) Slick to appear in Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People. They had written and recorded Would You Like A Snack? together.
At the Fillmore show (14th November 1970) Slick appeared on stage to announce that Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead would be playing a surprise concert there on the 16th November. Zappa teased: “Do you want Grace Slick to sing Louie Louie? Would that be the ultimate get-off for a Fillmore East audience or what?” Slick declined the invitation.
In 1984 Slick interviewed Zappa at Rock Palace. [1]
Zappa about Grace Slick
Interviewer: Gracie Slick of the Jefferson Airplane once called you the most intelligent asshole she's ever met. What do you think she meant by that?
Zappa: "I don't know. Would you presume that "asshole" has a negative connotation? Maybe she likes assholes. Hitler was an asshole. He just had a good p.r. department. Also a good tailor." - Quoted from Dialogue: Frank Zappa, COQ, February 1974.
"He [a gentleman named Erik] gave me a Finnish pornographic magazine that had some girls in it that I couldn't even believe that they would take pictures of 'em. There was one or two in there that looked like Grace Slick but the rest of 'em were hurtin', really hurtin'." - Frank Zappa about the inspiration for Ms. Pinky, liner notes to Lonely Person Devices in You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 6.
Grace Slick about Zappa
