Music 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 Submitted by: Mia

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

| "Jorma Kaukonen" | "After escaping one of the Bay area's most over-rated group's (and suffering through one-too-many of Marty Balin's legendary menstrual mood swings), Jorrma and Jack Cassidy founded Hot Tuna. Peace of mind and a restraining order were the direct result." | - prince jellyfish |
Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "White Rabbit" | I always thought that the title of this was "Go Ask Alice" ... anyway, they mention the "White Knight", and "when you're chasing rabbits", but no mention of white rabbits in the song. - Edgedraw |
| "White Rabbit" | Full of references to Lewis Carroll's "Alice" books, this song could be called "Go Ask Alice" because it's the most-recognized line in the song. - crazydon |

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"White Rabbit"

| "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.

Songs That Are Banned:
"White Rabbit"
In 1998, the high school band at Fort Zumwalt North High School in St. Louis is forbidden from playing Jefferson Airplane's 1967 hit "White Rabbit" because of drug references in the song's lyrics, even though the band's version of the song is entirely instrumental.
