Nobody seems to remember them no more&#8230; Sad.<\/li>\n<li><i>2014-01-01 00:54:53+0800 shahada abubakar<\/i> This was way before I was born so it&#8217;s more a case of &#8220;discovering&#8221; rather than &#8220;remembering&#8221;. Fortunately we have Youtube &#8230;!<\/li>\n<li><i>2014-01-01 18:11:53+0800 CS Wong<\/i> JA is quite versatile in their musical reach. White Rabbit sounds like they were totally tripping on LSD at the time but take a listen to Volunteers, Blues From An Airplane and It&#8217;s No Secret to sample other sides of them. Maybe not all their songs are up your alley but I find it very cool that they&#8217;re not as mono dimensional as classic rock bands with a single signature style such as CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd.<\/li>\n<li><i>2014-06-23 12:12:15+0800 jason king<\/i> you have heard of Alice in wonderland haven&#8217;t you? where she takes pills, has to choose between them , grows to be ten feet tall as a result , there&#8217;s a red queen and a decent amount of heads being lost..<\/li>\n<li><i>2014-06-30 17:58:53+0800 TheMusickMonster<\/i> I notice it says Jefferson Starship<\/li>\n<li><i>2014-12-12 06:15:40+0800 Moonpie Shane<\/i> <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink bidi_isolate\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/100146027520266303651\">CS Wong<\/a><\/span>\u00a0thats what i liked about Airplane. There was a variety of styles, yet they all seemed to fit in the mold of the band. The album Crown of Creation was a good example of a solid sound through every song, yet they were each unique in technique and style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>This post was originally <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+shahadaabubakar\/posts\/S1D8GWprLXr\">published<\/a> publicly on <a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\">Google+<\/a> at 2013-12-31 17:02:10+0800<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#nowlisteningHere&#8217;s what the Urban Dictionary has to say &#8230; 1.&#8221; Feed your head&#8221; To learn, gain knowledge, give the brain something to &#8220;feed&#8221; on.
