RIP - Paul Kantner

[Rich Engelhardt]

Yet another giant of the music industry passes.
Paul Kantner of The Jefferson Airplane

So far, 2016 has been a tough year for rock and roll.

Yep, I heard this driving home last night. One of the stations was cranking out "The Airplane" all night long.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

He definitely had an effect on rock music and a generation!

[Yonak Hawkins]

Indeed, Kantner was influential. I'm sorry to say I believe we will see more and more of our rock idols passing. There are so many in the industry and the ones who flamed out early are now being followed by the ones who pass "early" for age-related reasons.
