912 Jefferson Airplane “It’s No Secret” 1966

“Like Rashomon, the story of Jefferson Airplane, the band’s Paul Kantner has astutely postulated, is also one of many truths. There’s a cliché these days, ‘If you can remember the ‘60s, you weren’t there.’ It’s a wisecrack intended to imply that denizens of that era were so zonked-out that their craniums have been reduced to space dust. But that’s not the case here; the former members of Jefferson Airplane were there all right, and they do remember the ‘60s. yet each has a such a distinctive personality and outlook on life, and the ‘60s was such a kaleidoscopic whirl, that, despite being in the same band, no two of them experienced the Airplane years the same way” (Jeff Tamarkin, Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane, 2003).
