The Reviews about White Rabbit (page 7/ 28)
------ performed by Jefferson Airplane
You are fucking retarded | Reviewer: Kris | 11/23/08
Holy shit you guys are fucking retarded. The song is about drugs but it's also about Alice in fucking wonderland.Grace Slick, who based the lyrics on Lewis Carroll's book Alice In Wonderland. Like many young musicians in San Francisco, Slick did a lot of drugs. She saw lots of drug references in Carroll's book, including the pills, the smoking caterpillar, the mushroom, and lots of other images that are generally trippy. She noticed that lots of children's' stories involve a substance of some kind that alters reality, and felt it was time to write a song about it. So dont say it's not about Alice in wonderland bc ur fucking stupid if you dont read the lyrics and see the similarities with the "Hookah Smoking catapeler" o shit look at that a character from alice in wonderland. whats that men on the chessboard? holy fuckin shit another alice in wonderland thing....o yea this song has nothing to do with alice in wonderland
white rabbit lyrics | Reviewer: jeff | 11/24/08
White Rabbit is a song about shroomin'. The effects of shrooms are clearly written in the lyrics, as well as sung. Hearing this song while you are shroomin' is the most moving thing, i think.
-thanks
The Meaning | Reviewer: LittleBlackGirl | 11/16/08
White Rabbit isn't about Alice and Wonderland in any way at all. The song simply reference the story. "Alice" represents Grace Slick (the artist), and the story is about her trips on various drugs. The song was made to open the eyes of people how wanted to legalize illegal drugs during the 60s; To make everyone aware of the downfalls to using illegal drugs. Slick, who at the time was doing mostly weed and acid, used herself as an example, explaining her highs and lows through "Go ask Alice, I think she'll know" meaning 'Ask me, I do this, I know'. However, this is my own interpretation.

Also, it's not "Fill your head. Fill your head." its "Feed your head. Feed your head." Meaning, the doormouse, and if you didn't catch it the men on the chessboard too, are all telling you to use illegal drugs escessively.

the song reflects trippin...the original story does not...the drug culture embraced and popularized carroll's tale in America in the sixties citing simply that it was a trippy tale they could enjoy...as for jimi saying excuse me while i kiss this guy...it's kiss the sky you retard
Feed Your Head! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/10/08
Alice was looking at the New World through a child's eyes. Her frame of reference was that of a good little girl of her time - she was faced with a land and inhabitants that she could not understand and judged from what she had learned in her short lifetime. Some adults need to heed the advice" "Fill your head. Fill your head."

Just to make one thing clear: Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has nothing (in particular) to do with drugs. In fact it has nothing in particular to do with much anything, it's written to be funny nonsense (originally a story he made up on the spot for three girls aged 8-13).
white rabbit / go ask alice | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/2/08
I just finished reading Go Ask Alice. I found it at the library while I was helping my 11 yr old pick out books. I didn't concider this to be a book that should be in the teenage section. But after reading it I feel I should let her read it in the next few years. I talk to my children about drugs and sex. But this was even a big blow to what I know. Where she went wrong at the end we will never know. Keep your kids informed. Alice in Wonderland was a very wonder ful childs book and movie. I never connected it to White Rabbit till now. Live and learn I guess.
Maybe...? | Reviewer: Aleron | 11/1/08
What I think is that every song means something different to everyone who listens because we are all different, in our ways. But this song always reminds me of the book Go Ask Alice, which, incidentally, was named after this song.
It is, I suppose, mostly about drugs such as pills, mushrooms, smoking, etc. But it is also about the shildren's story, Alice in Wonderland, which, in my opinion, should not be a children's story at all-the whole experience of the "Wonderland" that Alice went into was very clearly a drug trip caused by her elder sister putting something malignant in her tea.
