Nowhere Girl's Music Corner: subversive Disney

Thanks for the post, Nowhere Girl. It's neat to remember/really think about just how deeply these experiences (and the idea of altered states of consciousness in general) are woven into the darkest, most unknowable corners of our culture and the artifacts of that culture. It's a worldwide phenomena, and it stretches back throughout time into things like religious/cultural artifacts, different creative arts and mythologies, etc., etc. Our experience is so saturated by representations of these states that often we miss the connotations entirely, or perhaps it's been so shrouded in cultural baggage that the true nature of what's being represented is lost, yet somehow still understood. Or maybe I'm just rambling, but it seems to make sense to me. Anyway, I had a point: if you enjoy the music of Jefferson Airplane then three great bands/musicians I would recommend checking out (if you haven't already come across them in your travels) are The United States of America, Os Mutantes and David Axelrod. All of these musicians are extremely "psychedelic" in perhaps the truest sense of the world: their art is outside of being something easily definable, and has levels of uniqueness and creativity which I would definitely associate with "psychedelic thinking"...
