Grace Slick
When Jefferson Airplane performed on The Dick Cavett Show in 1969, their lead singer, Grace Slick, became the first person to say “the F word” on TV, sending censors into full panic mode. She uttered the word while singing their song “We Can Be Together,” and it shocked audiences, Cavett, and viewers all around. This incident led to TV censorship as we know it.
