    The best part of this song is the “Feed your head” part at the end. Folks still think it’s a license to take drugs but Slick herself said it’s basically just “Read a f***ing book once in a while.”

    The exact moment you two heard Grace Slick's voice for the first time-WOW! The priceless expression on both of your faces! You're groovin', heads bobbing up and down in rhythm, and then-
    I'm a classically trained composer, and I've always noticed something interesting about this song. In composition we can write a marking of "crescendo" which means "start making the music louder and more intense." Usually this is followed by the opposite marking: decrescendo. Ebb and flow, right? One thing I've always loved about this song is that it is basically a 2.5 minute crescendo from beginning to end. It starts small and quiet. Very low range on Grace Slick's voice. But it just amps up from beginning to end, the voice reaching higher and higher, unrelenting. It's one of the reasons this song feels so trippy. It gives you that rush.

    Grace Slick said she wrote this while on an acid trip. She said it was her take on parents reading such weird stuff as Alice in Wonderland, then wondering why their kids end up on drugs. It was one of the first songs to successfully get drug references past the censors. It is a great song

    This was such a unique song. Grace had an amazing voice when she was young. Jefferson Airplane’s set at Woodstock was amazing. If you want another recommendation you could do worse than checkout Fairport Connvention with the Late Sandy Denny singing Who Knows Where The Time Goes. The best female vocals you will hear for a very long time.

    My favorite song is actually from the Jefferson Starship Red Octopus album, Miracles. I'm not much into love songs really, but THAT one, is a beautiful journey. I was so lucky, in 1989, I went with a high school boyfriend to Golden Gate Park, for a memorial tribute to Bill Graham, We got to see the original Jefferson Airplane perform a day concert for a homeless food drive in Graham's honor, anyone growing up in California between 1960 and 1990 had the words Bill Graham Presents printed on their concert tickets, Wavy Gravy even attended, and it was fun to see my teen vocal idol in person, and the reactions of older people who were surprised we knew all the lyrics, we were 19 and 22, had an absolute blast.

    Check out the live version. The story was they were at Woodstock and their manager told them they were supposed to play Saturday at 7. So they stayed up all night taking acid, only to find out they were playing at 7 AM. They stumbled out onto stage, peaking on acid, and absolutely crushed it. One of the best performances in the entire festival.

    A few years later Shocking Blue (a band from Finland with a female vocalist) had a hit with the song Venus. You can watch a video of it and you will see the same stoicism. Catchy tune delivered by a female staring through you. I loved those females. They were pissed off and above it all.
