To those who wonder why Paglia publishes here (in spite of helping to get this website off the ground 14 years ago), wake up and smell the capitalism. Paglia gets clickthroughs and page views and that's what drives ad revenue. You can thank Paglia's online BFF, Matt Drudge, for the volume. His site is the wormhole through which the crazies travel to get here, and share their mock surprise in Letters about a "liberal" who gets it. The formula sets up a nice little cottage industry for Salon: Paglia + Drudge = Multitudinous Page Views. If you really want to see Paglia gone, stop clicking.
I agree with Paglia on Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick. They were uniquely preoccupied with nuclear devastation (their '68 Crown of Creation album cover features a mushroom cloud) and had a completely unique sound. Too back rock history has all but written them off.
