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 5 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on the making of the band’s debut album. Expect deliriously interesting digressions. Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Recollections about the contracts he may or may not have signed; The way that the album was recorded; A discussion about the blurb on the back cover, which empties out into a fascinating discussion about the ideals of the 1960s; The differences between Signe Toly and Grace Slick; What Jack felt like they got right in the Sixties; And a conversation that veers so beautifully, so organically, into one of my all-time favorite digressions in Discograffiti history, exploring the legacy of the hippie era.
