it's kind of reassuring to know she's human after all and i don't think she looks her age, especially if she had her hair dyed again. i agree 100% she was hot and talented and we definitely need another one like her around today. didn't she try and dump a load of LSD into a city's water supply but cops stopped her? think it was my mate's dad who told me that one.
Hehe Balin never got along with her anyway, he resented the direction Slick was taking the band in (he envisioned a more folksy Byrds-like JA). They always played tug-of-war with the spotlight, and Marty was generally the loser. Poor dude. But Slick is just too good a competition.
