White Rabbit
Jefferson Airplane Lyrics
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
He called Alice, when she was just small
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the Dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head

"White Rabbit" was written by 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 childrens stories involve a substance of some kind that alters reality, and felt it was time to write a song about it.

She noticed that lots of childrens stories involve a substance of some kind that alters reality, and felt it was time to write a song about it.
Slick got the idea for this after taking LSD and spending hours listening to the Miles Davis album Sketches Of Spain. The Spanish beat she came up with was also influenced by Maurice Ravel's "Bolero."
Slick wrote and performed this when she was in a band called The Great Society. She brought it with her, along with "Somebody To Love," when she joined Jefferson Airplane in 1966.
This was used as the theme song for a 1973 movie called Go Ask Alice.
The UK version of the album didn't have this on it.
This was one of the defining songs of the 1967 "Summer Of Love." As young Americans protested the Vietnam war and took a lot of drugs, this played in the background.
On an original recording by The Great Society, the song is barely recognizable due to Grace's higher voice before several throat operations that lowered her range after each one.
"Go Ask Alice" which is a lyric from this song, inspired an anonymous author to put out a book with that same title. The book was a "diary" of a young girl in the 1960s who had a drug addiction and died. The diary owner's name is never given, and the diary is suspected to be fictional even after it was promoted as true, and the anonymous author is suspected to be Beatrice Sparks, the book's editor.
Lyrics:
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

@sirbrad4 that's understandable and I feel ya there, but thankfully the game still has a decent cult following four years after release. I would have loved for them to add a mode with bots at least, but I think I've got my money's worth, even if it'll be a terrible day indeed when it finally dies. Fingers crossed for another year at least.
One of the many awesome things about it is the attention to detail and the amount of forgotten weapons available in the game. For example, they not only have the MAT-49 (which I've previously only seen in BF Vietnam) but you can even choose the Viet-modified version that fires 7.62x25 and has a longer barrel and higher RPM. The game also includes the MAS-49, the RP-46, the K-50M, the Grease Gun, the M1 and M2 Carbine, the Owen gun (because the Aussies are a faction--just another cool thing to have), the L2A1, the M1D, and a plethora of others. Even little things are included, like the M16/CAR15 20 round mags being underloaded by a couple of rounds since it was common practice at the time, as it was (erroneously) thought to increase reliability.
On weapons where it pertains (which is done accurately), you can adjust your iron sights, switch between the magnified optic and the irons, change fire modes, affix bayonets, and adjust/collapse the stock to make it more maneuverable in tight quarters like tunnels. Almost everything is chronologically correct, too, even the way the multiplayer 'campaign' limits what weapons, factions, and fire support are available during early, mid, and late war.
On top of that, the weapon handling, bullet penetration, ballistics, limited class system, and dynamic hitboxes add fantastic gameplay elements.
And to top it off, although it doesn't have the full playlist that BF Vietnam had, I highly appreciate that the main menu features the completely underrated 'Run Through the Jungle' by CCR. As much as I still love 'Fortune Son', it's overplayed IMO haha
