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.

This is a rare song because it has no chorus. It starts and then just progresses until it ends

Welcome to psychedelic rock - Grace Slick had one of the strongest, purest voices of that - or any other - era. She is definitely worth listening to again.

Somebody to love is another Jefferson airplane song that is really good

White rabbit is a classic of theirs from the old day's, along with "Don't you want somebody to love".

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

Fascinating to see someone hear this for the first time... While Grace Slick's voice is a signature, you need to listen to the whole sound. All the musicians were great.

Her voice is Pure Power !

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.

You youngsters never realized we oldies knew how to rock ‼️‼️

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.

When this song was released every kid was very familiar with Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I know I was.

Much like a mushroom her voice grows on you. "Acid Rock" in general is definitely hit or miss with most most people.

This song is based on a best selling book, "Go Ask Alice". It was about a 15 year old who became a self-destructive addict. It did use the imagery from the Alice in Wonderland. I remember in my small town of Drumright, OK my teachers were shocked because my classmate's mom let her read the book in middle school. I was very young when this song came out, but I always enjoyed hearing it on the radio. I never thought of it as being monotone, but I think Jordan is correct. It is almost robotic. I think Grace's interpretation is in keeping with the almost Flamenco style.

Your reaction when Grace starting singing is priceless!

The Jefferson Airplane was a very controversial, influential and "revolutionary" band from San Francisco. A lot of their songs DID contain references to drugs and violent revolution in the streets. But you have to put them in CONTEXT - the 1960's and early 1970's. The Vietnam War was looming through the times. The Cold War was part of our lives, extermination of our species seemed somewhat imminent. On the local scene, we would go to markets that sold not too healthy food like Velveeta (made of oil), Spam, frozen TV dinners and other tasty things that would not ultimately be good for you. So drugs were just alternatives to alter your consciousness and fit nicely in the "chemicals for civilization", given by Modern Science, niche/role/function. Oh, "White Rabbit" refers to a Victorian author, Lewis Carroll, of "Alice of Wonderland" fame. The song was pre-Jefferson Airplane and was transferred by Grace Slick whose brother wrote it for his band , the Great Society. She came from that band originally as the vocalist.

Her version of this at Woodstock is even more iconic.

A good Female Friday artist: Carole King. ⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐

your faces when Grace starts singing is priceless

I remember it reached #1 in the country, but was banned on the local radio station (for drug references) that greatest summer of 1967. I was doing research at U. of Calif. Santa Barbara. Janis Joplin had her first great hit and Sgt. Pepper had just come out! Ironically, therapists have recently proven that psychodelics (under close supervision by a therapist) is the only/best way to treat PTSD, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.

From Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship and beyond, I love this band! PEACE!!!!!

Grace Slick was just awesome!! She had a big, powerful voice! Listen to "Don't You Want Somebody to Love", great and classic song!! Jefferson Airplane were in the midst of the whole psychedelic movement in the mid and late 60's. They made it big as Jefferson Airplane, the became Jefferson Starship, then Starship. Grace Slick is also a good artist. Enjoyed the reaction!

The song is of the era, when people were trying to find themselves. Some said yes, and some said no to drugs. Grace Slick, could captivate you and get you hooked on this song.

Grace Slick and the Airplane and Jefferson Starship, ALWAYS a huge favorite for me This is about Alice in Wonderland. "Trippy" was a great way to explain it!

I saw an interview with Grace and she said the song was a metaphor that your parents can directly affect how their kids may get bad influences from them including drug use. Alice is a great story to relate to drug use.

As a teenager I fell in love with the mesmerizing Grace Slick while watching her sing this on the "Smothers Brothers".

Ms Slick sang this with an ever-increasing urgency that climaxed into desperation,, matching the cadence with what appeared to be unlimited horsepower to match the vocal delivery..Probably didn't know it,, but she planted the seeds for the true ode to the "psychedelic generation" along with a timeless classic.

In the mid 70's I moved into a house that the band lived in. The first time I used the toilet in my bedroom I found the gold record to this song glued to the botton of the toilet seat cover.

fyi: Jefferson Starship is an American rock band from San Francisco, California that evolved out of the group Jefferson Airplane following the departure of bassist Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen.

And later they morphed into Starship. Both name changes were for legal reasons when people left.

This is one of the songs that makes it onto _every_ "Flower Children" or "Sixties" themed playlist...

I love your openness and respect for eachother. you are a joy.

Groovy 60's Hippy Music. The Love an Peace era of America.

San Francisco band from the heyday of Haight & Ashbury! Psychedelic Rock at its peak right there. 😉

There were a lot of girls back then who had enough of all the BS. Their high school boyfriends and friends were being shipped off to Vietnam. Her stoicism isn't an act. That's the way a lot of them were. They were looking through the madness. 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.

I don't know man, I've done my share of acid, and that look is pretty normal for people on it.

I am very fortunate to say that I saw them perform this live a few times, and her voice is just one of the great recognizable voices of rock.. the song is epic and iconic and if you are my age and live through those times, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing white rabbit or someone to love. They always had something to say to Jefferson Airplane… grace slick is a historic iconic singer, and this song will always be in Music history

Grace Slick is an icon...from the mid 60's (here) through the 90's (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship and a few solo albums) worth your time.

Grace Slick...the voice that launched a million trips!
