Quotes:

You got to find somebody to love... Yeah!
Submitted by: charbushor
But the situation was very open and very Renaissance-like - a Leonardo da Vinci kind of time, in the sense of just opening up all those arts and letters and hedonism and sex-drugs-rock'n'roll and freedom. It's the American ideal gone bonkers.
- Paul Kantner

Band Name Origins:

  • While it is the above is true, that has nothing to do with them choosing their name. Jefferson Airplane was named by guitar player Jorma Kaukonen in relation to a friend of his who gave people strange nick-names and Jorma's was "Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane" (Based on "Blind Lemmon Jefferson") The others were trying to think of a band name that sounded "silly" enough to work and this was what came up.

  • A Jefferson Airplane is when you pinch a marajuana roach around two paper matches as an improvised roach clip. Submitted by: Chuck Saint

Song Parody Fragments:

"White Rabbit"
Better Lyrics:
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small

And one gives you a pussy,whereas once you had some balls


Go ask Alice,who used to be Paul
Original Lyrics:
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
Submitted by: Ed Ehren

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Lather"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
But wait! Ol' Lather's productive, you know.
He produces the finest of sound,
Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose,
snorting the best licks in town.
But that's all over.
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is just a sampling of Jefferson Airplane. They were the most drugged up band of the hippie era. These people are probably hideously radioactive by now from all the crack and acid they took over the decades.
Submitted by: Death_Zero
"White Rabbit"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
Why They're Nonsensical:
How can you be sure that Alice will know about a person's mind going slowly? And are you sure that some kind of mushroom would have an effect on this?
Submitted by: Nick
