SPENCER DRYDEN, FORMER DRUMMER FOR JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, DEAD

AT 66

Dryden, who died Tuesday, was inducted into the

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 for his work with the

Jefferson Airplane, from the breakthrough 1967 "Surrealistic

Pillow" album through festivals like Woodstock and Altamont.

Dryden also had an affair with the band's female vocalist,

Grace Slick, and was married to the former Sally Mann. He

left the band in 1970, and the following year replaced

Mickey Hart in the Grateful Dead sideline country-rock band,

New Riders of the Purple Sage. Dryden stayed with that group

until 1978. In the 1980s he joined a group of psychedelic

rock veterans called the Dinosaurs that played informally

around San Francisco Bay area with former members of Big

Brother and the Holding Company, Quicksilver Messenger

Service and Country Joe and the Fish. He was married three

times and is survived by three sons, Jeffrey, Jes and Jackson

Dryden.

Poor drummer dude. But to say he had an "affair" with Grace Slick is ludicrous.

Grace slick was quite the ho back in the day and was known to engage in s*x with multiple male groupies from city to city.
