Review about Jefferson Starship songs

Who really understands what the video for Sara means (the b+w parts when he's a kid) | Reviewer: Jeff

------ About the song Sara performed by Jefferson Starship

I get what the Sara lyrics are referring to (mostly)...but the video with the black and white parts has me dumbfounded. It's driving me to distraction. I know the song was named after the wife (at the time) of Starship's vocalist Mickey Thomas, who sang lead on the track...but what does the farm/tornado/dustbowl setting for "the family" (in black and white) in the video have to do with the song "Sara?"

------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship

Best song, worst song, whatever! How each person feels about a song depends on the memories evoked, the emotions associated with it, and their personal music preferences. This song makes me happy, brings back the feelings and joy of raising my young children in the 80's and the fun of growing up in the 60's & 70's during the height of rock & roll.

a tribute to the 70's and 80's | Reviewer: Remember

------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship

The song is a tribute to the 70's and 80's and the references to Guglielmo Marconi who discovered (along with Tesla and others)RADiation Induced Oscillation (RAD-I-O) and the rapid changes in the ownership of American technology at the time are priceless. The idea of nameless and faceless engineers who made the world what it was to become is the topic.

re: Marconi | Reviewer: Chris in LV

------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship

To the poster who said Marconi is a "throwback to the basics and roots of popular American music", you are grossly incorrect. The reference is to Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radio.

------ About the song Sara performed by Jefferson Starship

My best friend growing up died a few years ago under very unfortunate circumstances. This song reminds me of her even though the friendship was purely platonic. When we were teenagers we would spend the night at each others houses. She always left music on to sleep to and this song was on one of her "mix tapes". I remember laying awake at night and thinking that this was the saddest song. Sadly, now that song has an even sadder meaning. "Sara, storms are brewing in your eyes...No time is a good time for goodbye."

Important Song to My friend | Reviewer: Conan

------ About the song Mau Mau (Amerikon) performed by Jefferson Starship

Wow! These lyrics are as angry and powerful as when I first heard them 30+ years ago!

I am trying to write a memoir for my friend who introduced me to "Blows Against the Empire". I remember his description of listening to this record with his mother. She was slightly aghast at the sentiment, but to her credit, she was trying to understand her son's music at a time when many parents were dismissive of "our music".

Chilling song | Reviewer: Nathanmay

------ About the song Showdown performed by Jefferson Starship

I listened to this song hundreds of times and never really thought about what it meant. But back in the days of the cold war a nuclear showdown was a constant specter, and nuclear attack is still possible.

The part that I quite chilling is the lyric "they walk with their arms away from their sides". After the Hiroshima detonation, thousands of the survivors were badly burned. Since their arms and bodies were burned, they had to walk with their arms away from their sides so the skin wouldn't rub off. Horrible...

One of my most favorites of all time,... | Reviewer: gilcardenas007

------ About the song The Awakening performed by Jefferson Starship

At the time when I first listened to the song, I did not speak any English, but I still loved it. I found it back now, and enjoying it even more after understanding the lyrics. Great song, one of my favorites of all time.

Great St. Charles story from back in the day... | Reviewer: VILESHUND TADA

------ About the song St. Charles performed by Jefferson Starship

It's such a great feeling to know there are others to whom this music meant so much...For a funny, heart warming story that might bring you right back to those days, please go to the youtube St. Charles and find comments...was there anyone else who discovered the secret of the Spitfire album cover illustration as Jimmy and I did that summer afternoon?...

heavenly song | Reviewer: ej from new orleans

------ About the song Count On Me performed by Jefferson Starship

My mom died in 07....I recently had a dream about her.....In the dream, she is sitting in our old house on the sofa, looking beautiful . Around her were all 4 of my sisters and my dad. This song was blaring over and over. I woke up not sure what the lyrics to this song was. The next day I looked up the song and lyrics.
