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 23 of the series features Jack and I (in his penultimate contribution to this series) doing a deep dive on the songs off the band’s final studio album for almost twenty years, Long John Silver. 
Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
Why Jack never wrote a solo composition for the Airplane beyond the title track of this album;
Jack’s defense of this late-in-the-game attempt by the band to pull it together one last time;
A paean to Papa John Creach’s contribution to the band;
Jack’s thoughts on the twin poke-to-the-eyes of the Catholic Church on the record;
And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Long John Silver.
