## Resource

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 8 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on every song off the band’s classic sophomore effort. Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Skippy skips town and Spencer enters the fray; The odd initial gig that Spencer played with the group; Bringing Jerry Garcia in as “Musical & Spiritual Advisor”; The staggering backstory behind the writing and recording of “Comin’ Back To Me”; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on half the songs off Surrealistic Pillow.
