Grace Slick, 67 today. Constipated as ever.

Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane (then and now photos, left and right) turns 67 today. Setting aside her politics (commie) and her general outlook on everything (also commie), it occurs to me that given her age she's perhaps facing a new set of issues when compared to, say, the band's heyday. Sex, drugs, rock 'n roll have given way to....no sex, prescription drugs, and, well: Depends. With that in mind, here's a version of "White Rabbit" (also known as "Go Ask Alice") called "White Cloud", with lyrics appropriate for Grace's age and likely physical condition.

White Cloud
(to the tune of "White Rabbit")

One pill makes your bowels move
And one pill shuts them down
And the one your home nurse gives you
Will make you strain and frown

Go ask Ex-Lax
You'll shit ten feet tall

And if you go unrollin' Charmin'
And you know you're going to call
Your nurse back in to the bathroom
She will wipe you clean and all

Go ask Ex-Lax
Your bowels blow

When last nights awful dinner
Has dropped out sloppy fast
And the White Cloud is folded backwards
And your meal's last bit has passed
Remember, it's your final blast!

Wipe your arse!
Wipe your arse!

My favorite Grace Slick quote is: "it doesn't mean shit to a tree."

Or perhaps that was Paul Katner...I dunno.
