White rabbit

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane was written by Grace Slick, who drew inspiration from Lewis Carrolls literature — specifically Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass — to create a metaphor about the psychedelic drug experiences of the 1960s. Slick used Alices references to size changes, after ingesting mushrooms and potions, as a way to discuss how drugs alter perception.
