Days later, Kubernik was asked to write or participate in tribute articles about Jefferson Airplane's guitarist and songwriter, Paul Kantner, including two articles for the Los Angeles Times, with the headlines "Jefferson Airplane's Paul Kantner dies at 74" (January 28, 2016), and "How Paul Kantner and Jefferson Airplane delivered LSD" (January 29, 2016).
