One Act Play Starring Jefferson Airplane

Pete Johnson, Hit Parader, October 1968

THE INTERVIEW is supposed to be with Grace Slick and Marty Balin of the Jefferson Airplane, but when you walk into the smoky motel room you find not only Grace and Marty but also Spencer Dryden, Jack Cassidy and Paul Kantner along with Bill Thompson, their manager, a public relations man and two other writers. This type of scene is an interviewer's nightmare because thoughts and questions get bounced around like tennis balls, generally landing out of bounds before they can generate information.
