The 63 year old Mickey Thomas still hits the notes and looks the part of the rock front-man..That alone is notable about this band.Few of his generation still do and several rock vocalists that should hang it up performed at the fair in 2011...:White Rabbit "By the summer of 1966, The Great Society was one of the most popular bands in San Francisco. The band was recording material, and released one single in San Francisco, a precursor to the future Jefferson Airplane success "Somebody to Love", which was written by Darby. During autumn, Jefferson Airplane's singer Signe Toly Anderson left the band to start a family, and the Airplane asked Slick to join them. Slick stated that she joined the Airplane because it was run in a professional manner, unlike The Great Society. She took two compositions from The Great Society with her; "White Rabbit", which she is purported to have written in an hou! r and "Somebody to Love", both of which went on to become smash hits. With Slick on board, the Airplane began recording new music. With Slick leading, they took on a psychedelic direction, evolving quite considerably from their former folk-rock scene. By 1967, Surrealistic Pillow and the singles taken from it were great successes, and Jefferson Airplane became one of the most popular bands in the country
