Jefferson Airplane.


Jefferson Airplane

'White Rabbit'

Verano del 67'

Cuando Grace Slick te ordena 'feed your head’ – alimenta tu cabeza –, no habla precisamente de lecturas playeras de verano. A menos que, claro, el libro que andes entre manos sea ‘Alicia en el País de las Maravillas’, substexto psicodélico, píldoras diversas, hongos alucinógenos, piezas parlantes de ajedrez. Si el Sgt. Pepper puso banda sonora al verano del 67’, White Rabitt lo perfumó con esencia de patchouli en 3 picodélicos minutos.

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

.

And if you go chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Call Alice

When she was just small

.

When men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice

I think she'll know

.

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Remember what the dormouse said:

"Feed your head

Feed your head

Feed your head".
