So because someone who was an icon of the 60s is singing in a format that some people don't like, that invalidates the song even more? Another point I don't get. But I've long been accused of being lacking in musical taste.
It just makes them seem very hypocrital, hence distasteful. Jefferson Airplane was the most articulate band espousing the hippie values, quite radical and stood against everything a corporate rock hit "We Built This City" represents. It's sort of like somebody singing a song called "Peace Train" turning around and advocating assassination.

Well, I mainly think it's terrible song, period, and bad in a way that's not even interesting - the meta of having a 60s icon involved is just a "gift with purchase".
I personally don't think it's the worst song in the history of the world (or however dw put it) - that would imply it's more interesting than I think it is.
eta Also, what Hec said. He articulated my point on the meta better than I ever could. But it's the soulless, corporate aspect that makes me hate it, no matter who did it. Bombast I don't mind so much.
Grace was drinking A LOT then, which is proof alcohol is worse than acid.
but not annoying like a double post.
erika, are you trying to tell us something? :)
You'd think so.
Yeah. I'm celebrating Wednesday.
gah, something in my soup has attached itself to the back of my throat and it is bugging me to no end. Prolly an onion bit or zucchini seed or something.

Did you know she's gone completely white-gray in recent years?

Sorry, but seeing the double-post turn up when it did made me laugh and laugh. I half expected to see a post between them with "Hic!" in it.
