TequillaFS Music Video of the Week

A classic song (fast forward to the 3:30 mark of the video) full of psychedelics that should roll straight into the Memorial Day Weekend.
http://youtu.be/Q1cfTMdjkYM?t=3m30s
This video/song has always posed a lot of questions to me:
1) Since I'm not an acid superiority guy, I've never understood the whole changing lights, suspended in animation thing ... but it trips me out just watching it so I can only imagine how much of a trip(per johnson) it must be
2) From any and all interviews that I've ever seen with people that lived in San Francisco during that time period, everybody thought that Grace Slick was the hottest chick ever (maybe it's because she fucked everybody???), but I've never seen it when looking at her from this time period. Maybe it has to do something with the fashion and looks of everybody from that time period that really didn't work at making anybody looking good.
3) If you watch the full video with the intros from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, it's at least interesting to me to see how such "attitudes" were initially allowed on network TV and then gradually became more and more censored by CBS before the abrupt cancellation. In particular, the idea of "promoting" the use of psychedelics in advance of listening to the songs.
This may not be a "bad" video, but it's an interesting one and full of underlying censorship (hi Kim!!!). It seems strangely relevant for this crowd.

Grace Slick was an fuglier version of Patty Smith.

Regarding your question 1) ... I think the crazy changing lights/colors you tend to see associated with psychedelic art is more of a recollection of the experience than it is something to look at while you're on drugs.
In other words, being on psychedelics and looking at changing colors is not crazy ... sometimes it even seems stupid. Seeing something like that AFTER you have done psychedelic drugs serves as a reminder of what that experience was like. Not to say that those colors is an exact recreation of being on those drugs, but certain aspects can remind you of things you saw.
Edit: As an analogy ... when Fetters sees a picture of Nachos, it reminds him of how much he loves nachos. When he has a plate of nachos in front of him, he doesn't need to look at a picture of it. Although, he actually might want to do that, so maybe this was a bad analogy. -
