(See first linked story below). And just goes to show, what goes around always come back around in American pop culture. The last time "Alice in Wonderland" was cool was the late 1960's (as might be expected -- and no, I wasn't around back then), and its current resurgence immediately brings to mind for me one of my favorite Sixties songs, Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" (with lyrics based upon "Alice in Wonderland"), which famously made an appearance in the interim on the Platoon soundtrack in the mid-1980's (yes, I was around then). Airplane's recognizable version of "White Rabbit" on the old Smothers Brothers TV show is the second link below. BTW, Airplane's lead singer, Grace Slick (pictured immediately above with the rest of her band), was one of the most notorious Rock'n'Roll wild childs in the history of that genre, and she would give even your more contemporary Britney Spears and Courtney Loves of the world a definite run for their money.http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1633345/story.jhtml
