Is it just me or does this just catch you as... strange?

First, I'm a fan of music. A big fan. My iPod has hits from 10 years ago to over 200 years ago stretching across many genres. I love music - I consider it one of the few international languages and one of the only things that can bring people together and let them ignore their differences, even if it is for a few hours.

But....

I came across this (it's the video to "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship.

What gets me as being really of comes around 1:40. Who is that? That's Grace Slick. One of the front liners (as part of Jefferson Airplane), as seen in this video:

(Grace is the lead singer in these songs - White Rabbit and Somebody To Love).

The fascinating part is that the two are close to what, 20 years apart, and she still has a killer voice.

But - it's interesting to see how well the band "stayed with the times". You see them in the 60's - anti-war, free love, and the general hippie standpoint and then close to disappear for many years (I'm sure they still toured) and then completely morphed into an 80's big hair band but still singing about the same thing, kinda, gone from anti-government to anti-corporations.

I find the look change the oddest, though.

Thoughts?

It's a known fact that hippies are able to clone themselves.

True, it could be an alternate person.

BTW - IMO this video is great (not that I'm advocating what she attempted to do)
