Understanding White Rabbit

The Psychedelia movement of the late '60s was one of the most exciting, innovative periods in rock history, and while lots of great songs came out of it, few capture its spirit better than White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane's tribute to Alice In Wonderland. It's dark, mysterious, and driving, creating a profound, powerful effect on its listeners that seems to stretch way beyond its 2 and a half minute run time. It's one of the crown jewels of one of rock's most important eras, but how does it actually work?
