    Can’t wait until @op appreciates Gamble and Huff like Lieb and Stoller

    I tagged you with 3 G&F songs in 1970 the albums they did for Wilson and Dusty were amazing. Prefer them to Back Stabbers.

    Only album they produced in 1971 was Laury Nyro weird

    I didn’t realize they were G&F unless you said so

    I specifically told you something like "dang these g&f productions got me a little more optimistic about 70s soul"

    !https://youtu.be/6fHJBGpJMr8?si=TL3VWq36wdo5SFU3

    Lmao yeah she was on one with this

    I read a handful of different sites making claims about the song or trying to explain it. This is probably one of the better ones i came across:

    "Grace Slick was in Germany, and she was drunk. A recipe for trouble if there ever was one, a lethal combination. Take her natural penchant for shock value, fuel it with the one substance that never fails to set her off, and plunk her down in Germany, all of whose residents, Grace still believed some three decades after the second World War, were responsible for the atrocities committed, and there was no telling what might happen.

    She'd always had a thing about Germany. Once Grace had written a song, "Never Argue With A German If You're Tired or European Song." The other party in the altercation in question could have been her bandmate, Paul Kantner, the iron-willed former altar boy, whose forebears were of German extraction and who was at the time her lover, soon to be the father of her child. Or it could have been Grace's German-built Mercedes, which, following a night of excessive imbibing, she'd recently driven into a wall at over 100 miles an hour, nearly wiping herself out in the process. The point was, all things Deutsche brought out the worst in her."

    Source is a pretty fun blog post read

    I did find some random "daily facts" ass Facebook post that references some quote from Grace Slick saying that she got all the lyrics from random German speaking people she met on the street. The post has no source or anything, just a link to the spotify page for the song. Im sure if i dug around a bit more i could find out whether or not this quote actually exists, but cant be bothered at the moment lol. Ive also kinda just grown to assume that most "cool trivia" social media accounts just make s*** up a majority of the time.

    She was such a troll lol I can't help but love her though. Didn't realize she was a musician, but she learned and was playing some pretty good piano for the band in the early 70s

    Have you heard Paul Kantners solo album from 1970? She's excellent on there

    Roughly 6 months but it might start taking longer the more subgenres and s*** that pop up. I think we're doing pretty good, don't want to rush these years cause they're jam packed with gold.

    I'm doing it on my own iTunes and Spotify accounts and will continue until the bitter end regardless of whatever happens with ktt. Been chatting with these boys for a decade not in a rush to leave.

    Might swap over to that geezer Steve Hoffman forum one day

    @op where you ranking Hunky Dory within Bowie's oeuvre these days?

    Changes, Pretty Things, Bewlay Brothers etc all classic but Life On Mars and Quicksand are his first 11/10 songs

    I put it in the top 5 or 6 Bowie albums and my opinion hasn't really changed on it since I was 17
