Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rockgroups of the 1960s, primarily the vehicle of guitarist Jorma Kaukonenand vocalist Grace Slick. Initially, the female vocalist for the group was , but due to a strong family commitment she was replaced by Grace Slick in 1966, originally from The Great Society. They then took a rather controversial path, adopting both the drug-taking hippie ethos and the left-wing, antiwar political movement of "hippie" counterculture. Grace was a big part of the band's commercial success, "White Rabbit" (written by her) and "Somebody to Love" (written by Grace's brother-in-law, Great Society guitarist Darby Slick) being the two most recognized tunes. Rock historians have suggested that Grace Slick helped to break the mold of the typical female musician.

Long John Silver Lyrics
Jefferson Airplane
Long John Silver ring in his ear he's the hero, make that clear
does the same thing his father did sailing around the
Caribbean robing king with his talking parrot this time I
think he's on the high side
scabs are forming, scraped his knee guards are warning, a
bad man is free
he's like electric clock that needs no winding keeps the time
without your hands western feet need no binding take a
barefoot run through old Japan he's seen a thousand
countries, they're all the same some men crazy - some men
sane but all men are ruled by a flag or a game he knows
nobody's got you if you don't sign your name
Long John Silver serves no king no land holds him--that's
why he feels like singing every country now
