Fun fact that should surprise no one: I love Starship.
She's apparently also an anti-vaxxer and she thinks that mainstream media is the root cause of why people today don't realize that Christians are discriminated just as much as homosexuals.
As long as it's not a Starship revival influence.

Hard-pressed to find another act whose late work was so far below what they became famous for.
As Kieran suggested, U2.
(I have no plans to listen to any Starship beyond "We Built This City" to find out if they somehow got worse than that.)
And there's that negative hyperbole I thought we were done with for a while.
NOPE.
Even if there's only a few recent U2 songs you think are great, they're far beyond the grasp of anything fucking Starship ever shat out onto tape.
Well I mostly agree, funnily enough. Though I will single out City of Blinding Lights, a feel-good turd if ever there was one. That's hyperbole. That's how it's done.
"We Built This City" is fantastic, and I'll hear no talk that it isn't.
But yeah, it hurts my brain how the chill hippie girl who did "White Rabbit" ended up doing "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"
"Cash rules everything around me", indeed.
Jefferson Airplane was phenomenal for about five years until they ran out of acid (ETA: right around the time Owsley went to jail, come to think of it ), then they turned into that bar band that decides to try writing a few songs after years of doing nothing but covers. Problem is, they were already famous by then.
ETA: Jefferson Airplane -> Starship != 1990s U2 -> 2010s U2. At all.
I drink ginger tea with honey for a sore throat.
There is honestly not one single song on that album that I think is any good (Love and Peace or Else has a decent guitar part - that's the only highlight of the whole thing for me). It mystifies me how I listened to it on constant repeat to the exclusion of nearly any other music at all for almost a full year of my life.
