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.

Two Heads Lyrics
Jefferson Airplane
You want two heads on you body
And you've got two mirrors in your hand.
Priests are made of brick with gold crosses on a stick
and your nose is too small for this land.
Inside your head is your town
inside your room your jail
inside your mouth the elephants trunk and booze,
the only key to your bail
Coda:
Want two heads on your body
and you've got two mirrors in your hand
Two heads can be put together.
And you can fill both your feet with sand.
Noone will know you've gutted your mind
but what will you do with your bloody hands?
Your lions are fighting with chairs,
your arms are incredibly fat;
Your women are tired of dying alive
if you've had any women at that.
Wearing your comb like an ax in your head
List'ning for signs of life;
Children are sucking on stone and lead
And chasing their hoops with a knife;
New breasts and jewels for the girl,
Keep them polished and shining;
Put a lock on her belly at night, sweet life,
For no child of mine. (Go to Coda
