Grace Slick Wants to Give Trump LSD: This Nut-Job Goofball

Septuagenerian rock singer Grace Slick of the group Jefferson Airplane wants to dose President Trump with the drug LSD.

Slick, interviewed about the 50th anniversary of 1967's Summer of Love, offered the suggestion in an interview with Variety magazine:

There is the famous story of you wanting to dose Nixon [with LSD] when you got invited to the White House. What would you slip Trump to mellow him out?

Acid, because I don’t think he’d too well with that. It’s an ego-destroying thing where you are not in control. You’ve got to know what you’re doing with it. You’ve got to have somebody who is not high to make sure you don’t decide you’re a raven and fly off the roof. There are all kinds of things about it that are tricky. … We’ve got a president who is orange — everybody’s least favorite color. Bill Maher said never underestimate the stupidity of the American public, and, at this point in time, he is right. But I realized what a patriot I was when he got elected [because] it made me so sad thinking about how there were 12 or 15 guys who, now 240 years ago, started an entire country. Although they may not have practiced all their ideas — they had slaves and were talking about how all men were free — some in the Constitution are still used. And they were wonderful ideas as far as how to treat each other and yourself. Then you get this nut-job goofball as our president, and it’s embarrassing. He shouldn’t be running a country. Guy is a mess.

Anyway, if you shut off the Ego with Trump, there wouldn't be anything underneath. Guy is like the Anti-Dalai Lama.

Maybe Trump should be given chamomile tea instead.

for launching anything bigger than a conventional bomb. I'm not sure they'll allow him another chance at the MOB

Pretty much everyone knows he's nuts. Only those who are as nuts as he is don't give a shit. The rest of us care very much so.

Peace

She fielded that out of left field question pretty darn well. She's always been willing to speak her mind. An early strong woman in Rock. I still listen to her music.

You have to have some self-knowledge and some mental discipline, otherwise its just a random frightmare. Perhaps in a clinical setting, but even there unless you have some openness, some intention of gaining self-knowledge and insight, it doesn't just happen.

I mean, how can you beat Morning Maniac Music and Volunteers!!! They played here in Fairbanks in 1970; got to go. Then took the plane to Anchorage so I saw them again the next night.

I swear, she didn't even NEED a mike.
