I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call

I am not normally a fan of covers, but I love this version of White Rabbit. In some ways, I think it's superior to the original with Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick.

I was all prepared to turn up my nose at this, but you're right - it's really well done.

I agree, it's an excellent cover. There's a Settle band called Spike & the Impalers that does an awesome cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love."

Gristle, I heard this on a Fresh Air episode and was impressed enough that I spend money on that recording. Yea, I really don't like remakes. I think there's about a handful that I can listen to.

Vince, I'll have to check that out.

Oh, and I think you meant Queen's "Somebody to Love".
