She looks EXACTLY like my wife when we married in 1974!

And we are still married, and still in love. And she still looks like a grey-haired Gracie Slick!

the very out of place use in their ad.

Slick's voice was always an amazing treasure.

Who thought using a song about an drug trip to sell a cruise bed was a good idea?

...that spot, I thought, “What the hell were they thinking?”

It also doesn’t help that the song is cut/ edited is an odd way that totally messes up the flow of this iconic piece.

Hard to imagine what they were thinking.

The Onion did a spoof of it:

I think Celebrity Cruises is part of Royal Caribbean.

some years ago and they asked her if she could live the 60s over again would she do anything differently? She said she would like to do it with blonde hair and bigger boobs. That one still makes me laugh. I always loved her singing and her quick wit.

The Great Grace.

I remember meeting her at some event I was covering during which I was able to grab a couple of questions from her. I happened to notice the boots she was wearing, plain white leather, knee-high, medium heel. I had a pair of red ones in the exact same style. I commented on that and we talked boot fashions for a couple of moments like a couple of girlies.

I. Was. THRILLED!!!!

Given your sojourns into the wilderness... absence makes the heart grow stronger... and probably key to the success of your relationship... Not to be assumptive.

Best to you and your family.
