Otra perla

Jefferson Airplane, ese grupo de hippies extremadamente talentosos y mediáticos (cuando tal cosa no tenía ni nombre), nos dejó un puñado de canciones perfectas. Mi favorita, "White rabbit", es una apología desenfadada y fresca del consumo de mind-expanding drugs, tan en boga en la época. Lástima que las razones médicas y las razones policiales nos hiciesen torcer el camino después... Les dejo la letra, para que vean lo inspirados que eran los primeros rockeros. Más tarde, el maleficio de la evasiva buena idea nos poseyó a todos. La frase final, "Feed your head", es toda una recomendación tristemente olvidada.

White rabbit, de Jefferson Airplane:

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 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 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
Feed your head"
