Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane: Dead at 74

Paul Kantner, one of the giants of the San Francisco music scene, died Thursday of multiple organ failure. Mr. Kantner, a founding member of the Jefferson Airplane, was 74 and had suffered a heart attack this week.

Can't say I've ever been more than a casual listener, but they were pretty big in that era.

I like Airplane, but really got into the other things like Blows Against the Empire and Sunfighter.

Kantner was a revolutionary musical genius.

Damn, another great musician has passed away. I always dug the pre-80s Jefferson Starship and Kantner's playing, sad to see him go.

And in a strange case of coincidence, Signe Anderson passed away on the same day as Paul. She was the original singer of Jefferson Airplane, replaced by Grace Slick.
