The way I heard it is that when that song was being written, one of the band members was very drunk. He was trying to say "In A Garden Of Eden" and they decided to leave it that way. Excellent song anyway. One of the first real long ones that were to become popular in the 70's.

I remember reading that somewhere a long time ago.

[IO pan]

yup, i heard that in an interview....also there was one of their members murdered for some weird alien undercover project. apparently he was some sort of physicist or somethin too. read that in maxim. reminiscent of Buckaroo Bonzai huh?

I recall a People magazine article about one of Butterfly's members diappearing without a trace. But I never heard anymore beyond that.

[IO pan]

they found his corpse in a van in the woods in south america , i think, somewhere with a rainforest. he called some people and said forces were after him, that he was scared for his life. he had some of his physicist stuff with him and they never recovered it. ccccrazy eh?

I heard the same thing about the Iron Butterfly disappearing mysteriously. Saw them perform once--i was right in front of the stage. But can you name any other hits besides Inagoddadavida?? I can't lol

Janet's referring to the Surrealistic Pillow Album of the Jefferson Airplane. Not sure where the name came from, but the Airplane was dope terminology for inverting a joint and blowing it up someone's nose.

The Jefferson Airplane were part of the San Francisco music scene along with the Quicksilver Messenger Service and The Grateful Dead, all which came into prominence due to the concert promotion of Bill Graham...

Jefferson Airplane had some good stuff......I sort of lose interest by the time I get around to their "Starship" stuff.
edit- but Homer likes "we built this city..."

My father was/is a big fan of hits from the 50's/60's.
As a result I can really dig tunes like "Mac the Knife" or "Down in the boondocks".

In the 70's we called that a shotgun!!

a jefferson airplane was when you took two paper matches and held them, one atop the other, with the roach of a spliff held betwixt them, like tweezers i suppose. once you try it, you can kinda see where the name comes from, it kinda looks like an airplane.....if your stoned.
--the above is a highly effective way to smoke your roaches--

Damn, its been awhile. Thanx for correcting me Rainbow and IOPan. See, its true--marijuana damages the brain!
