Jefferson Airplane Part 16: Jack Casady Goes Track For Track On Crown Of Creation Pt. 2 (Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive Series) (Ep. 269B)
DiscograffitiShow Notes
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 16 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on the songs off the band’s classic fourth record.
Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
Jack futilely attempts to gaslight me into believing that rock stars in the 1960s did not have threesomes; The novel from which Paul Kantner borrowed to inform the lyrical subject matter on the album’s title track; The darkness that surrounded the band, which very much found its way into the music this time around; Jack’s stance on bass solos; The unparalleled greatness of producer Al Schmitt; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on half the songs off Crown Of Creation.

Four years ago, a guy named Rudy Fischmann started listening to Discograffiti. He signed up for Patreon. I reached out to him, and we became fast friends. He’s 54—just three months older than me—and he told me during our first conversation that he had brain cancer. He began making this show—in case you’re unfamiliar with it, I’m pretty sure The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast is the world’s only podcast within a podcast. And yet here we are, 150 episodes later, and Rudy has created a show that’s lasted far longer than most regular podcasts. And it’s literalized the Discograffiti community, bringing folks together far and wide as friends, collaborators, and…hell, possibly even as lovers, as far as I know.
