Dish the dirt on his famous friends? ‘I didn’t want to do that,’ says the former member of Jefferson Airplane.
In light of the spate of music biopics and memoirs that have come out, anyone expecting lots of hot dish from “Been So Long: My Life and Music,” Jorma Kaukonen’s autobiography from a few years back, is advised to look elsewhere.
Despite the fact that the Jefferson Airplane founding member experienced his first dalliance with fame during the group’s halcyon late ‘60s Haight-Ashbury days, it’s more of an intriguing and straightforward account of Kaukonen’s life path. It’s a big reason why he decided to pass on doing a project like this when he was first approached about doing it about a decade or so ago.
Born in Washington, D.C. to Beatrice Love and Jorma Ludwig Kaukonen, Sr., the younger Kaukonen boasts Finnish lineage through his paternal grandparents and Russian Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side. Given that his father was a State Department employee, quite a bit of traveling framed the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s life.
