Obviously, YOUR comment reveals a white-centered bias against, and condescending attitude toward, legless furniture, people, and homosapiens antecedents.
“When the 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”
— “White Rabbit” Jefferson Airplane (lyrics, Grace Slick), from “Surrealistic Pillow” (1967)
I identified with Alice. I was a product of 50s America in Palo Alto, California, where women were housewives with short hair and everything was highly regulated. I went from the planned, bland 50s to the world of being in a rock band without looking back. It was my Alice moment, heading down the hole. White Rabbit seemed like an appropriate title. — Grace Slick
Dear agave,
re: “Obviously, YOUR comment reveals a white-centered bias against, and condescending attitude toward, legless furniture, people, and homosapiens antecedents.”
(btw ‘homosapiens’ is spelled ‘homo sapiens’.)
Obviously you have never known the man made famous by “The Pussycat Theater chain”, whose nickname was “tripod”.
