Yes, it's about drugs, but more specifically, it's about expanding ones mind and growing as a person (one pill makes you larger, feed your head), not so much about getting 'wasted'. Also, I feel that 'feed your head' isn't just referring to ingesting psychoactives, but also having a 'healthy media diet', as we call it these days!..

Jefferson Airplane was straight out of Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco 1960's, the peak of the "Hippie" drug scene. Grace Slick was the Queen of the psychedelic rock and a great singer. She is still alive living in San Francisco and is an artist these days. Seen some of her paintings, she's quite good. Refuses to perform any more, says she doesn't want the be the old broad trying to sing on stage.

She uses a lot of vibrato; I think that's part of what you're talking about in her voice. Lewis Carroll included various drug references in his Alice in Wonderland book, and the Disney studio surprisingly emphasized these in its Sixties cartoon adaptation. Jefferson Airplane emphasized them even more.

1967! Yes, the song is about drugs. And yes, the lyrical imagery does come from Alice in Wonderland. "Feed your head" became "Turn on, tune in, drop out" as Timothy Leary -- the Johhny Appleseed of LSD -- phrased it before a crowd of 30,000 people gathered together to party in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco that year of the Summer of Love. Since then this song has been used numerous times to evoke the psychedelic sixties, for example, in the 1986 Vietnam War movie Platoon. The 2013 crime drama American Hustle -- starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, and Bradley Cooper -- featured a great Turkish language cover of "White Rabbit" by Mayssa Karaa that puts a whole different spin on the song.

@@Motown-1966 Go read about why they had to drop Jefferson from their name. Grace never sang with Starship again she got into an brew ha, ha with Thomas over this song. In 1978 Grace Slick was asked to resign after their July, 1978 show in Hamburg, West Germany because of her drunken antics on stage. In October Marty Balin left the group. That left them without a singer. They had to get a singer in came Mickey Thomas. When Paul Kantner left he sued them over the use of the name Jefferson Starship which is why the group had to change their name to Starship. Grace had been in and out of the group twice before this. She was with Starship for "We built this City". The name of the group had changed by then. to Starship. I hope this clears up the confusion. Just look up Jefferson Starship on Wikipedia it can spell it out a bit better.

Grace's voice had a great power. Interesting that everyone seems to start with this one - maybe because Pink covered it a while back. Some other great JA choices are 'Volunteers,' 'Wooden Ships,' 'Somebody to Love.' Also the giant with the guitar, Jorma Kaukonen and the bassist Jack Cassidy, spun off a band called "Hot Tuna" that you should check out - 'Surphase Tension,' 'Keep On Truckin',' 'Hesitation Blues' etc.

In the beginning it was Jefferson Airplane, then Jefferson Starship which was first used on the album "Blows Against the Empire", then after leaving Jefferson Starship because it got too commercial, one of the founders (Paul Kantner) sued the band and they became just Starship. Starship was even worse despite the return of Grace Slick and Paul Kantner. Grace eventually went on to do two albums with Paul ("Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun" and "Sunfighter")and others. She also did 4 solo albums ("Manhole", "Welcome to the Wrecking Ball", "Dreams", and "Software".) My favorite Grace Slick heavy songs are : "Rejoyce", "Two Heads", "Eskimo Blue Day", "Lather", "Silver Spoon", "Better Lying Down", "Theme from Manhole", "Easter?", and "Welcome to the Wrecking Ball".

This song was about hypocrisy of adults saying drugs were bad yet reading children stories full of subtle drug references like Alice in Wonderland. It's in a style called a bolero - it doesn't have verses or choruses, it just slowly builds and builds and builds. Some other top JA songs are "Somebody to love", "We can be together", "Volunteers", and "Coming back to me".

the exit line "Feed your head"...was an instigation for doing LSD/Acid to enlighten and discover yourself. And at that time till the late 80ties you had to put lyricwise a drug topic in a song in form of double meaning allegories otherwise the song wouldn´t had been released, and therefore the topic Alice in Wonderland is simply made for that, which is evident for everybody having LSD experience. the Beatles did it as well by singing "Strawberry fields forever"..refering to a popular type of acid called "Strawberry" And certain types of music/sounds are harmonizing to certain types of drugs..so alone the sound of those songs is already refering to certain drugs as well, where additional distinct lyrics aren´t necessary to get what the song is refering to.. And Psychodelic music which "White Rabbit" is was LSD music.
