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 10 of the series covers the half-year period from the end of 1966 to The Summer of Love—that is, from the release of Surrealistic Pillow to June 1967 and Monterey Pop—in the style of an audiobook. Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:The Human Be-in, and that event’s ramifications on the city of San Francisco;The drug busts begin;Bill Graham becomes their manager;The reason why Surrealistic Pillow took a few months before ascending up the charts;How the group temporarily fell afoul of the counterculture;Grace beds down the new guy;Jefferson Airplane’s reaction after hearing Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band;How they went down at Monterey Pop;And the alienation of Marty Balin from the band he’d started.
