Singing about Alice in Wonderland, the classic children’s story and it’s correlation to late 60s drug culture.
The Classic Children story is suspect for the images and dream state that come from all the consumption of Mushrooms, Drinks in small bottles, Tea Party with drunken Mouses, people and animals that are strange shapen and disfigured... But I love the Story and this Song....
And the book “Go Ask Alice”
Grace Slick wrote this song. It is a description of ALICE IN WONDERLAND with a psychedelic twist. It is easier to understand the song after a few deep tokes. This is back in the 1960s and LSD was passed around like party favors.
Alice in Wonderland is a psychedelic twist. Disney really cleaned it up. The story is an opium dream. It’s not what most people think.
Most Disney comes from a lot of this stuff & they try to clean it up. Like The the Wizard of Oz. Go read the original trilogy & I believe may have had a fourt but it was not a child's book!! The books are very twisted & evil!!
@@rogeroran2911 there is no evidence that it was an opium dream, or anything at all to do with drugs. He had a brain malady, a form of epilepsy, that created bizarre hallucinations. Everyone since identifies it as very consistent with Psychedelic trips.
@@cbrend22 It is known that Lewis Carrol used laudanum, which contains opium, to try to control it. In large enough doses, it can cause hallucinations. The story is also political and social satire, and drug use was unregulated. Some of the characters were based upon public figures who did use.
Carey Grant, the legendary actor's life was nearly destroyed and taken by an LSD addiction in the early to mid 1950s, so.....
It's ALWAYS been for the 'edgy', until the early 70s when it got cheap and flooded the ghettos....
That was the psychedelic period..The 60’s were about experimenting drugs…and freeing up the soul and mind..✌️☮️
Yep.. they literally played , along with the warlocks.. who became the grateful dead.. during kinslies famous kool aid acid tests
Pssst the 70s too 😉
Released in 1967. Hippies, drug use, psychedelic rock, free love. This song became the anthem for that time. The references were from the book Alice in Wonderland. White rabbit, the Red Queen, hookah smoking Caterpillar, the Dormouse, the White Knight, the chessboard.
The song is describing a LSD trip.
Grace was retaliating against the older generation’s critique of the hippies’ drug use, pointing out that their parents had raised them on stories like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz that had obvious drug references, so it was kind of hypocritical of the parents to then demonize drugs completely.
It’s nice to see young people having an open mind about a song recorded in 1966. But this is no ordinary song since it still resonates today.
"White Rabbit" defines psychedelic rock circa 1967. The lyrical imagery comes from Alice in Wonderland. "Feed Your Head!" Eat some acid. "Turn on, tune in, drop out" as Timothy Leary -- the Johhny Appleseed of LSD -- phrased it that year of the Summer of Love, before a crowd of 30,000 people gathered together to party in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Ever since then this song has been used numerous times in movies and documentaries to evoke the psychedelic sixties, for example, in the 1986 Vietnam War movie Platoon. The 2013 crime drama "American Hustle" -- starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, and Bradley Cooper -- put a whole different spin on the practice with a great Turkish language cover of "White Rabbit" sung by Mayssa Karaa. Check that out too when you can.
Glad you mentioned Mayssa Karaa's version
That is a phenomenal performance
This came out in 67 or 68 before Woodstock. One of the great woman voices in early rock. The reference is obviously to Alice in Wonderland but that was to get it by the censors while they sang about drugs.
The inspiration for this song is Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
There was a song called Puff the Magic Dragon that was about growing up and leaving childhood behind. A lot of the 'older generation' accused that song of being about drugs when it wasn't. Jefferson Airplane came out with this song in 1967 about Alice in Wonderland. Written in 1865, the story had its own drug references that many people ignored or didn't get. The final lines, feed your head, was meant as a call to educate yourself.
Awesome song. Short but sweet and she's got a great voice.
Here are the Lyrics for you. 🍄
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"
Funny you put that Feed your Head 3 times because she only sang it twice, but I agree, she should have made it 3 times! 😅😅😅
This is from the book "Go Ask Alice" it was like a diary. She wrote on her trip through pill addiction, and a number of other drugs. The book is still out there & being read. It's an old book!!
This is "from" Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (19th century). That other book, Go Ask Alice was a fraud. It was "like a diary". Originally, it was peddled as a "found" diary by a couple of youth counselors trying to drum up business. Turns out it was entirely fiction, written by one of those counselors. The publisher relented, eventually, and stopped calling it a "diary" and dropped the pretense of authenticity. Dumb book, dull made-for-TV movie. Peace.
@@donthomasdunigan7004 I guess I'll have to check it out again. It didn't even really sound like a diary! But thank you!! 🙂
It's psychedelic rock, which is a genre from the mid to late '60s. Stoned, LSD, acid, mushrooms....very trippy.
Remember this well from my youth, ahhh the 60's. One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small, and the one that mother gives you, dont do anything at all
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
Grace Slick was The Lady of the 60’s!
Mushrooms are still a popular thing. This came out in 1967.
When most anyone who grew up in this Era hears this song... Just watch their faces and knowing grins on their faces as they recall and remember
When I was a kid and heard this song I always thought it was cool and scary😂
The 1960s the time of enlightenment, awakening and love,flower power, love light and happiness to you always 🤗💛🤗
Gracie Slick’s take on “Bolero” by Ravel and “ Alice In Wonderland “. The 60’s were the psychedelic era.
she was digging miles davis sounds, too...
@@normanchristiansen1864 the creator of modal jazz. Yup.
This is what you come up with when you take acid and watch Alice In Wonderland. Yes, it was the 60s.
That sums it up exactly 👍🏻✌️
Bahahaha!! EXACTLY and I'm so glad I never did that!! PHEW!!! ;) ;)
@@michaelgilbert197 I promise I never did that either. I had a baby at 18. To much responsibility. I was scared of that kind of stuff.
I'm glad y'all were smart. Too many young folks OD'd.
Love their Woodstock performance, Grace is so cool! 💜
Yeah, she was definately saying something! Alice went down the rabbit hole and got hooked up with drugs. 😆
Most ppl back then knew the book "Alice In Wonderland". This interpetation became a drug anthem.
Wow! I haven't heard this song in years maybe decades. The 60s were crazy, but I got to tell you I love Grace. She's got an awesome voice
i am 65 i have this album on cd
- “Somebody To Love” By Jefferson Airplane ✌️😎
Another song of the times. ❤️☮️
There's a really good live concert version of this. She sounded great live too.
Just got home from a mushroom trip. Great way to close it down. Thanks!
I think the best way to listen to a lot of music, especially ones like this is... twice. First time, you just listen and ride the wave, feel it. Then the second time around, you can think about it, analyzed the meaning of the words. This was a 1960's drug song, yup. I was there, it was dynamite, an it remains iconic and emblematic. But - really - it was meant to be absorbed and felt, not thought about too much.
This song was also telling you to question authority. "Feed your head." The late '60's were all about changing the status quo.
Young people were protesting the war in Vietnam, rebelling against government, police , who were called “pigs” and authorities. Kids rejected parents music and turned to rock music and drugs were used. Sex, drugs and rock and roll described the sixties. Music was a way to express ideas, feelings, and to make political statements. Bob Dylan was huge, he wrote poetic music , a virtual genius that was idolized everywhere. Woodstock was a great gathering of musical talent that thousands of young adults and kids attended over a few days. It was top of the list of great happenings. Jefferson Airplane , Jimmy Hendrix, Santana, were just a few of the performers...check out the concert at Woodstock. It was UNIQUE. Peace! Out of sight! Far out!
"Feed your head", a common refrain in the 60's and 70's.
Along with the grateful dead, who were the warlocks at the time, Airplane literally played at the all the famous Kool-aid acid tests. Acid was legal at the time and they would put 2 bowls of kool aid.. 1 with lsd in it and one without. And the crowd would randomly drink from each bowl while the band's played
First time I ever did mushrooms we bought an ounce and split it 4 ways! It was quite the trip to say the least!
funny thing is that while you are tripping on acid you should not "Chase the rabbit" it will give you a bad trip the idea whilst tripping is to relax and chill to enjoy the trip... ahh thge days i spent behind my school in the feilds and woods collecting the little mushrooms :) happy days.
LOL 😂😂
Nice, this popped up just as I was about to twist one up.
Read Alice in Wonderland, then read the lyrics to this song and then watch the Live version from Woodstock ! You'll get it !
They were amazing in concert
My parents grew up in the 60’s and both used to get high to this song.
Don't know if you picked up on it but the whole song is about Alice in wonderland.
Not at all
@@NLTwon so now knowing that you should listen to the song again and listen to the lyrics. That is if you know the Alice in wonderland story of course.
mushrooms yes!! magic mushrooms!! been around a looong time LOL
Hey Twon! "JANE", in my opinion, is their best song. The vocals & guitar solo will give ya stank face & then melt it off. Drums & piano drive this song hard! 🔥 B-A-N-G-E-R! I hope 🙏 you'll consider reacting to it, Twon. It's such a bad ass Rock song that I played it on repeat in high school. 🤣❤🎵✌
#NoLimitNation 💯
What a blast to the past. You really have a great understanding. Vietnam era people had much to say! Thanks for reacting to this! 😁
1960s the greatest era for music that includes Motown and 60s soul for an old 75 dude in England. So pleased you enjoyed this song Also an iconic song for the Vietnam war bless thank you for posting this
I love your reaction to this song. This is a song about drugs during the 60's. Her voice was awesome!
Trippin' Ballz- 'STRAP IN FOR TH' RIDE' ...LMBO...
Your about to have an experience. 😃 this was the 60’s. She’s speaking of Alice in Wonderland. Tripy ✌️ ☮️ ❤️ 🍄
She was saying something “ get high - feed your head” the 60’s
The singer is Grace Slick
Oh yeah! The 60's was wild! Everything goes. It calmed down in the 70's and as far as I know, at no time since, matched the drug experimentation, the use, the free sex, the short(est) shirts ever and no bra's as the 60's and that's why Bill's answer was "I didn't inhale". Because those two were right smack dab in the middle of it. You can pretty much bet, if it didn't happen in the 60's it hasn't happened yet. An awful lot of common sense was lost back in the 60's and in my opinion, it's the reason children of the seventies only have fragments of it to this day. Just watch someone who is fifty years old or younger cross the road. The ones with the fragments look and cross anyway, the ones without the fragments don't even look. If they have common sense they would stop, look and cross when it was safe.
Super old.... I was born before this song was released. hahaha. Happy about that fact too because I got to experience what you experience Twon when you first hear a song plus I've been listening to this music since. Thanks for your reaction.... Take care and be well. Peace.
This is why some grandparents are so messed up. 🤣😂🤣
Lmaoo 🤣🤣🤣
The HIppy Era... Gotta LOVE it
It changed the World and even some of the pragmatic Culture the World was stuck in when it came to light...
Acid Rock!!
In the late psychedelic 60’s and 70’s bands were experimenting with drugs especially Acid, hence the term “Acid Rock or Psychedelic Rock” to come up with awesome lyrics and songs (Doors, Beatles, Rolling Stone, Who, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd etc…). The problem was no one could talk about it either on TV or in songs, you know censorship in that era!!! Jefferson Airplane trippy songs about “Alice in Wonderland” well the band used the books novel to disguise her song about drugs… What the band felt about the drug use whether good or bad!?! In the end she sings “Feed Your Head” meaning educate yourself before you end up like them?!? BTW when she sings “One Pill that Mother gives you do nothing at all” indicates “Birth Control Pills…”
The sixties and early seventies were all about LSD and mushrooms...and 714s
LOVE THIS SONG!!! it's a trip.... it helps if you know the story of Alice in Wonderland though!! Hehehe!! ;) ;)
It’s based on Alice in wonderland the book written by a guy named Charles Dodson also known as Lewis Carroll and he was also a mathematician that invented deductive logic the basis of old pinery logic in computer programming
Specifically, this song wasa response to the negative views around the hippie's drug use, basically asking what did you expect to happen when you give kids trippy ass stories like Alice in Wonderland.
“Jane” is another good one! 🤪✌️
Great reaction! Love Marty Balín and Jefferson Airplane (Starship). Hope some day you can react to Miracles, Coming back to me, Runaway or With your love 🎶
I have always thought that Coming Back To Me was one of the best combinations of music and poetry. Great imagery. Today was another great song on the Surrealistic Pillow album.
@@timothymunger3186 You’re so right! Today is such a beautiful song. They had some great songs but I think my favorites were written by Marty Balín
@@timothymunger3186 There’s also fun live concert footage of Its No Secret with the cool back and forth between the 2 main singers (Marty and Signe)
Welcome to psychedelic music of the mid to late 60's. Lol.
Phrygian scale used in the beginning it sounds like
One of my first concerts and my goal was to make Grace Slick look at me like I was crazy. Mission accomplished when I was hanging by one hand three stories up from the stage.
grace slick is an absolute queen
This song is about drugs, there's a movie called "Go ask Alice" that goes with the song, you should check it out, but prepare yourself it's based on a true story. Didn't the song seem kind of trippy to you, or psychedelic? Well, that's why it seemed that way!
You're reviewing White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane the lead singers Grace Slick and Marty Balin what you're saying about the guitar I totally relate with you but it reminds me of Spanish Flaminco Style and the style in which she sings it sounds very Spanish Flaminco Style and being Hispanic myself I love it! Thank you so much for reviewing this song that takes me back the 1967!
Grace Slick said in an interview she wanted to emulate the march from Ravel's "Bolero". She succeeded.
She was singing about doing shrooms. Being f-ed up.
Shoots and 4 way awesome.
welcome to the best of 'acid rock'
Drugs drugs drugs. They were on some hardcore psychedelics.
Mushrooms have been around for as long as there have been heads...always...
Go watch the movie "Alice in Wonderland."
Then think about "tripping" on either mushrooms or better yet on LSD.
The whole thing is connected.
"White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane is all about that.
Those were the days my friend.... another song.
They sure were and I don't regret a single thing about living then.
Magic mushrooms are probably the best mildest psychedelic experience than a person can have
White Rabbit was the theme song of the 1970 movie "Go Ask Alice" too that was about drug addiction.
Basically, Twon
This song was inspired by "Alice In Wonderland"
1967 written by Grace Slick
No hidden message:
Feed your head. Feed your head.
Have you heard the song Somebody To Love? It was a HUGE hit in 1967!
BIG PETE brought the LSD!!!
JEFF!!! Lmaoooo 😂😂
Stoner music! lol "Feed your head!" 😋
Its about pills & a girl got into them cause her mom wasn't any good to her , there's a movie called , Go Ask Alice from the 60s
Alice in wonderland, she mentioned the dormouse saying feed your head, a hookah smoking caterpillar, the 60’s about psychedelic drug use but the song is a great song sang by a great singer Grace Slick
LSD trippy groove
A good band that imploded because of drugs and egos
They all survived just fine, though. Some retired, quite comfortably. Two members went on to form Hot Tuna. Others went on to form Jefferson Starship, later called Starship. Most bands "implode"; it isn't uncommon. Peace.
Great job brother love the channel..this is basically “Alice in Wonderland” if Alice was taking mushrooms..I think😂 Who knows.. Seriously though I agree the instrumental intro in the beginning always grabbed my attention since I was a kid..I don’t usually request songs I listen to the channel regardless but off the top of my head I think you’d really like “Mr.Brownstone” by Guns n Roses..try it out one day if you got time kid I’d never steer you wrong🤘🏼keep up the good work channel sounds great👍🏼
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Check out the live version from Woodstock - its iconic!
She said to, "FEED YOUR HEAD."
Okay. Inagodadavida has to be on the list😘
Only problem is that, sometimes, when you freed your mind and soul, they never came back.
Dude “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll.
Magic mushrooms sir they were psychedelic but this song is basically written by I mean if you go back to Alice in Wonderland it was written by Charles Dodson also known as Lewis Carroll he was a mathematician that invented deductive logic
Go watch Disney's Alice in Wonderland and listen to this song again.
Mushrooms were LSD. Jon is right. She refers to all the characters in Alice in Wonderland and it’s correlation to the 60s drug culture.
She was talking about lsd
I am so glad that Alice in Wonderland was in my required reading for the Great Books Program in 7th grade. But of course at the time I had no idea it had anything to do with a drug trip. lol
They are from the 70s
60's.
Listen the live version ,the solo guitars intro during 5 minutes (epic)
Was gonna put my two pence in but you all beat be to it
