Grace Slick, throaty lead singer of the acid-rock group Jefferson Airplane, is expecting. According to the latest issue of Rolling Stone, her husband Jerry doesn't know anything about it because he's not the father. Guitarist Paul Kantner, another Airplane, is. Grace admits that she is "a little worried, what with all the weird drugs we've been taking." Anyway, the happy parents-to-be have already picked a name for the child-God. God Slick.
