70's photographs: Rock stars at their Parents Houses. Zappa, Clapton, Grace Slick, etc at | Noise Addicts music blog audio blog

david_crosby.jpgThe photos were shot by John Olson of Life at the newly opened Google-Life Archives. The "etc." in the headline are David Crosby, Elton Johh, Donovan and The Jackson Five.

The houses seem oddly bare -- not a book or newspaper in sight, although David Crosby's father has a short stack of National Geographics and a New Yorker on a rattan chest.

Outtakes and alt-takes of the shoots are available too, without proper captions. They're all mislabeled in Google as "Grace Slick - Jefferson Airplane." A few of these really are Grace, and, along with a few other John Olson photos in black and white of her with Kanter and Phil Graham, this is the entire Life history of Grace.
