[JerkyNBeer]

lsd trippin

[videomaniac108]

Love the tone that Jack's getting on that bass. Sounds almost acoustic-like.

[probrojeffro]

Couple good songs on here, but nothing much to shine about.

[tonkehar]

TV will rot your brain..

[Nguli34689]

Was that a fart I've just heard between 0:53 - 0:56 ?

[tonkehar]

@Nguli34689 No, 0:53 - 0:56 is the sound effect of a needle when you slide it across an album.

[dfuente98]

@Nguli34689 Dude, i think your right!!! I heard it too. LMAO!!! XD

[VieraBorn]

@Nguli34689 thanks for that awesome laugh. now whenever i hear this song i think of farts lmbo

[MrBrianlowdown]

this song is so fucking about today,our over stimulation by our small minds making a carnival of orgasmic exess........love you grace cheers from the lowdowns s.f ca

[nuklad]

@MrBrianlowdown

Brian,

This song IS about low passion creatures. Serbian rapper Rambo Amadeus finds this irony in the following lyrics:

"I am surgeon plastic fantastic,

I implant turbo tits bombastic,

polyvinyl-chloride-silicon-ela­stic,

all good for laic, skeptic and scholastic.

[niggiface]

I just don't feel like writing anything... Good song though!

[eoj2495]

Jefferson Jukebox, a real find. Thanks for putting on all the early J.A.!!!!

[nuwa81]

odlot he,he nalewka z gibonów i jazda :-)

[MegaSoulSearcher]

This song is about a dildo (for Grace).

[loblut]

Garcia also plays the electric guitar on Today.

[magijack]

0 dislikes...Win for Jefferson Airplane fans.

[dreamsandnightmarez]

Right when I heard this I knew this was next on my list to learn on guitar and sing

[notsovelvet]

Oh, 1967, what a year.

[tonkehar]

TV will rot your brain that 's what the song about !

[slippery396]

A true "Psychedelic" song !!

[louiseduvee]

Mr. Garcia's distinctive sound is definitely on this recording. I never knew that for sure...

[SkopTeocratico]

I love this version song... pure acid song.

[cnedwick]

few people are aware that jerry garcia plays acoustic six string on this number.

[EarthsAngels]

Wow! Awesome! Thanks for sharing part of the history on this! Mahalo!

[ddactyl]

@cnedwick It surely does have that Viola Lee groove at the beginning, no?

[BMWproductionCo]

@cnedwick i thought he played electric... it sounded like him. then again jorma is no less amazing.

[SeaHorseGypsy]

@cnedwick he also helped write someone to love. I think he also might have produced it.

[kingsuji]

Hah, Marty rappin'. Good call.

My favorite cut on my favorite Airplane LP.

Calling someone "plastic" in the '60's was a real downer.

[FranzKlam]

Balin wrote this song as a ballad to his TV set, that's where the plastic comes from. I prefer the live versions of this tune around '69-70 when Jorma tears it up.

[ZACKnirvana]

@kingsuji so a "plastic" person was pretty much a dead beat right?

[CAS1xtz]

@ZACKnirvana - no, it's a fake 'hip dude' like Peter Fonda

[avialableman]

When Marty raps out, he's good. When sings soul songs, hmm, he's worse.

[venezuelano1234]

this is a very good song, blueeyesofice, I've found this version only, what other versions are there?

[andymaster12]

well jefferson airplane is more of a live band, so there are countless live recordings of this song. if you dont want to search too hard for live stuff check out bless its pointed little head for a good live recording

[blueeyesofice]

YES!!! Someone finally posted the good version of this song! Thank you, JeffersonJukebox. I heard this on classic rock at work yrs ago and searched for it since but kept finding the other version til now.
