One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that Mama gives you
Don't do anything at all...
Yeah, yeah, I'm dating myself. Jefferson Airplane's classic psychedelic anthem "White Rabbit" came out during the 1967 Summer of Love, which fell between my sophomore and junior years of high school. In her haunting contralto, Grace Slick borrowed images from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and put them in the context of a hallucinogenic drug trip.
Tim Burton's new 3D interpretation of "Alice," with Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, arrives in theaters Friday. Critic Roger Moore's review is the cover story in this week's Good Times. He gives the movie a thumbs-up, saying that it's inspired as much by "White Rabbit" as by the original novel. Read the review and decide for yourself.
Elsewhere in Good Times you'll also find reviews of “Brooklyn’s Finest” and “The Ghost Writer.”
