Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 14 of the series covers the one year period from November 1967 to October 1968—that is, from the release of After Bathing At Baxter’s to the recording of Crown Of Creation—in the style of an audiobook. Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti: How Rolling Stone’s birth wound up impacting Jefferson Airplane’s career; The reviews pour in for After Bathing At Baxter’s; The death of the Haight Street hippie; The Grace Slick solo career of the Sixties that never was; Their third—and final—manager enters the scene; The Airplane gets into the ballroom business; The band get their own very unique headquarters at 2400 Fulton Street; And Grace sings in blackface on The Smothers Brothers Show.
