Summary
Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 7 of the series covers the period from January 1966 to October 31, 1966—that is, from the release of their debut album to Grace joining the group and recording album number two—in the style of an audiobook. Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti: The Airplane’s first major press coverage; How The Haight handled being overrun by floods of lost children who were looking to live this new lifestyle they’d seen on TV; Signe’s farewell; A brief history of both Grace Slick and The Great! Society; The creation of the original “Somebody To Love” & “White Rabbit”; Grace joins Jefferson Airplane; And an exclusive interview with Ruthann Friedman—writer of The Association’s #1 Summer of Love smash “Windy”—who recounts nearly becoming Jefferson Airplane’s vocalist before Grace wound up getting the gig.
