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.

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

"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
