Don’t Drop Acid: Just Listen to These Songs for a Trip to the 60s
Feed your head with rainbows and purple, magical mushrooms
A few years ago, the yearbook advisor at my school approached me. There was a section where students listed funny lines or memorable quotes from teachers. I’ve been in there a few times, but this quote was questionable. I once said, more often than once: “I never did drugs. I get high on poetry and music. I snort lines of Keats.”
We agreed not to include it in the Yearbook. But it was the impetus for this list. It’s true. I am drug-free — except for RX and the beer I brew from yeast, barley, and hops.
But that’s okay — these songs (and the next 10) will take you on a magic carpet ride.
1. “White Rabbit” — Jefferson Airplane (2:30)
102 years.
Not such a crazy leap from the Children’s classic, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) in 1865 on the banks of the Thames at Christ Church, Oxford— for Alice Liddell — to Grace Slick in 1967.
