When I was a young man, after being introduced to new coworkers, I would always ask them if they knew that Lather was thirty years old today. Only 2 ever knew what I was talking about and one stunned me by responding "and his mother took away all of his toys." He and I have been best friends ever since. If you were familiar with the song Lather, you were definately a Jefferson Airplane fan. It's one of my favorite songs.
Me too,I just woke up dreaming of singing that song and hanging out with lather and grace,and I had to go and play it and wonder how fast time goes-50 years unbelievable and I still will always love that song,now I will listen to blows against the empire,whole album.!
I love this song since I was 7 over 55 years ago! I was born in the mission district of San Francisco! I'm an inventor! Have patents! Worked in the music industry as a producer! But at age 7 my dad died in a head-on collision with another car and killed himself and two other people! So I am crazy! Schizophrenic and chronic depression! But that wound which never healed as always helped me think outside the box! What was I supposed to do at 7 years old! And grandma told me to take care of my mother and sister! I always should listen to music Peter Paul and Mary and others! So I dove into the San Francisco Bay my birthplace! In the music of San Francisco during the 60s has always kept my head above water! God bless Bill Graham!
I had a major crush on Grace when I was 13. Now more than 30 years later I stil listen to the airplane every week. If had a time machine and one place I could go back to, it would be SF in 1967.
This, my dears, is just a faded remnant of an era now barely saved in 0s and 1s for us to reminisce over. I only have the vaguest of memories of it these days, but it was truly a magickal time. Perhaps the closest this species had ever reached, what we so naively consider love, peace, and kindness. It may have been a collective fad for many then, fed back to the millions by media marketers always on the lookout to co-opt something just to sell it back to us, but despite that for many it was real. And I doubt that this species will ever see or approach that childlike innocence turned inward ever again. And even if there were ever to be a chance to prove me wrong, we are on the verge of destroying ourselves in ways we don't want to acknowledge, let alone make the changes that could prevent it. So let us just have our RUclips fixes of a bygone era, dream, fantasize, and for some of us, remember. Because right now, that is about all we have left.
I had always thought this was a very unique, catchy song about a guy who was just "different." Knowing what we know now about autism, I can pretty much assume that "Lather" was about an autistic adult. Grace's lyrics are pure genius.
Putting things into perspective, if Lather was alive today he'd be 83-84 years old (since he was 30 years old back when they sang it) and glad not to be dead.
Spencer Dryden (who the song was about--he turned 30 on April 7, 1968 and was Slick's lover, who wrote it for him) didn't live to be 84; he died in 2005 at the age of 66.
That song takes me back, and made me wonder about getting older and now that I'm older it puts a great smile on my face, What a whole song, a total song, the words and that music. Thank you Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane.
I was working at a substance abuse treatment center a few years ago, as part of team going over some patients' charts and trying to figure out how many days of treatment we could get out of their insurance companies. One guy appeared to be sort of like Lather. I asked this 35 year old therapist if he was familiar with the Jefferson Airplane song 'Lather'. When he said that he hadn't, I explained the Lather syndrome is sort of like a guy that is 30 and is still living in his parent's basement and smoking marijuana all day long. All the therapists got a chuckle out of that.
"and lather came foam from his tongue ..." Grace wrote great lyrics. And the video holds up even today, all these years later. I never knew this existed. Many thanx!
My MoM told me when i was a kid,,It was about a mentally challanged person,,but i cant recall the details she explained ;) ..that was over 25 years age...!! btw,,my great hippy mother died in febuary of this ......she had some head problems,but smoked weed till the very end....she said alot of great things that as i remember them her voice is right next to me ...cried 3 times writing thiss/////...much love all.....wanda meek.
Life is not temporary, life is everlasting. Life in this realm is short yes and we shed our flesh and bones. Yet, there are many lives to come, to experience our spiritual selves. Yet ultimately to come to a realisation that our only reason for 'being', is to love thy self and all around you.
For some reason one of my favorite songs. Grew up in Marin in the 1970's so heard about them but didn't really discover until I was in collegeEventually saw KBC later. Whenever I hear the "sand" phrase I think about the beaches in West Marin. This video you found is amazing, though, the whole blurry video effects thing just over the top -- I guess it really was the 60's (I missed cause I was a bit too young.) Also FYI everyone while searching for updates on band, saw that Marty Balin just died last month, age 76.
I was a lather/drywaller for about sixteen years and took a vacation up near Mammoth Ca., at Sotcher lake and the San Jaoquin River, taking this cassette with me. It was great and sad at the same time, that I was lather. I caught and ate some rainbow trout, came home, went back to work as a lather, and dropped a plank on my knee six months later that changed my life forever. Life limps on........
There is no way to make someone really see or understand how it was!! The mid 50's and the 60's was the calm before the storm. The music , the happy hippies(of which i was) I think it was some kind of glitch in time ,maybe!!?? It all ended with Charles Manson and the Tate/LaBianca murders. The happiness was gone and reality stared us in the face!!!Sorry if I'm rambling on and if I have misspelled any words I'm an old lady now! But I still ROCK!! Keep on trucking!!
Being adventurous and unique were rewarded by record companies (and listeners). There was also lots of silly, commercial crap, as well, though - just like now.
Very haunting song then and now. Saw it live on TV, a Black & White TV that is for you color sensitive folks, in 1968 at the age of 12. My parents didn't know what it was, nor did I, but I knew I liked it and I had to have that album. Was an amazing time in the history of rock music.
I'ts about there drummer spencer dryden, its telling a story about how his still doing the same shit at age 30 while his friends are working for corporate america, and the others are fighting the war in Vietnam.
I have always loved this song. I have the album; I lived thru this time and everyday was a ball! It will never happen again, not in today's world. I toked a lot and never went on to hard drugs, or became an addict. We just lived our lives working all day and partying every night. Went to all the concerts at The Fillmore East in New york city too. Those were great times! But we are still alive and well today, even the ones from the Nam. Rock on people!!!!!!!
WOW, does this bring back some great memories of the 70"s I forgot just how HOT Grace was....Great song Great album Great Band, Live long and fly high Airplane!!!!!!!
It makes me laugh to think that Lather was 20 years younger than I am when he asked "Is it true that I'm no longer young?". The children don't call me famous, and the old men don't call me insane, because I like the same music they do. But sometimes I still feel nameless. And I still don't know which game to play, which words to say.
I'm at at hotel where the shampoo and such are Lather brand. This song wont stop playing in my head, so I had to play it here. Oh, Gracie! I saw the Airplane and Starship many times. Great memories but this one brings tears to my eyes.I have the Crown of Creation album on vinyl and will have to play it when I get home..
Jefferson Airplane IS one of the best psychedelic rock bands of all time...This song is one of the most emotional i have ever heard...Long Live Rock Spirit...
An incredible song, touching. I love it. Written for Spencer Dryden's 30th birthday. "And I should have told him, no you're not old. And I should have let him go on, baby wide." Chilling!
the 60s were important but so were the 80s and i honestly think in the next few years this generation will change the world in ways we cant even imagine.
just the same happens to me almost imediately when listening to those songs. as if one part of me has been there once and remembers forgotten things pearling into the mind :)
I was on amazon this morning and someone said lather is one of the craziest songs they've heard. I downloaded this. Lather is one of my new Jefferson Airplane finds. What an absolutely beautiful song. the lyrics convery such a beautiful story and I absolutely love the music and the italic singing.
Lather will turn 64 in January, child is the best of the compliments that you can lay on me, because no, I'm not old, and I continue to smile baby wide!!!
A wonderful, mystical song, tune from 1968. The music of the 1960s are some of the best of the last third of the twentieth century! Almost all the music from this era of the nineteen sixties are very well done; and there are many original songs as there were more than a couple of years before; the late 1960s are significant. Furthermore, most of this music, and from Jefferson Airplane has meaning, and significance.
My friend is getting older but is still full of life. Her son keeps telling her, "Don't you know how OLD you are?" No, as a matter of fact, she doesn't and, up til now, has refused that reality. I played this for me today because she said, "I just realized how old I am". Broke my heart. When I was 10 years old and heard this for the first time, I decided to be "Lather" until the day I died. I want the same for her.
I heard the airplane from my older sister, she had their records, and sometimes as a nubile, I heard things that sorta shook my little 6th grade world, but this one of all kinda creeped me a little... they were the greatest of the San Francisco era, never to be outclassed!
You show excellent taste. Just don't disillusion yourself by going to see what they all look like today. Just remember them the way they looked then. And listen to as much of their music as you can. You're lucky to be alive with RUclips to play with!
I remember hearing this the first time when I was 12, and thinking that's so old, now at 55, it's been running through my mind... My favorite JA song till this day is "PLASTIC FANTASTIC LOVER"
One of my fav Airplane song ever, so stoned out the whole thing is. And as tranchula points out, those were golden times, and yeh, we were hippies, but I think that that was a good thing to be, and still cherish it
Reminds me of doing acid in my friends bedroom in the 70's. We listened to this song about 50 times over and over trying to figure out all the underlying meanings as well as the special effects. But thats all over.
Grace was so incredible. Oh to have been old enough back then. Still, as a child of the 70's instead of the 60's I suppose I can't complain. Still better than what came later.
This is excactly the kind of song that you hear endlessly.When I first listened to it I really cried and the first thought that came to my mind was that there are no such songs and bands nowadays.That's a great pity.We must do something to make famous singers who sing such kind of songs today and unfortunately a few people know them.Take for example The Old House Playground.They are sooo great but so unknown.That is the real pity.I believe we have to change this and I think that we DO can!!!!!
The only God is God the creator of Heaven and Earth; God's other namea are Johova, Elohim, Yahweh; Repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour
@@melissaonorati2243 I know it's been 4 years but I was wondering if you had ever seen Piper Laurie's performance as Sissy Spacek's mother in the film "Carrie' - your delivery and timing with religious warnings are straight out of that movie - check it out. Amen.
With all of the other huge hits from this band, I still think song was probably the most underrated. Probably the best song along with Two Heads off of the Bathing at Baxter's album.
The moment she says " Is it true that i'm no longer young" i'm on the verge of crying everytime.
It's the totally helpless fearful "mommy?" right after that really kills me.
Yes I was just going to say mommy,and all I got was chills,great memories many,many moons ago.!!!
@@cammybaby01 Agreed!!!
me, too !

That time being 30 was like having 50 now

I haven’t listened to this in 30 years, but still knew all the words. OMG where has time gone fabulous sound, ground, time
Sameeeee
Same for me
Today I'm lather 30 years old and I get it..cherish your youth and enjoy the little moments with bliss
I love this song since I was 7 over 55 years ago! I was born in the mission district of San Francisco! I'm an inventor! Have patents! Worked in the music industry as a producer!

I'm 15 and Jefferson Airplane is my favorite band.
Well that's impressive Geoffey :)
Your growing up well my son.!
You’re 24 now lol
@@bryancollins8887 I wonder if they're still his favorite band?
So cool to hear. I'm 71 and was there at the beginning. And so the music lives on.
I had a major crush on Grace when I was 13. Now more than 30 years later I stil listen to the airplane every week. If had a time machine and one place I could go back to, it would be SF in 1967.
book me in!
Who didn’t have a crush on Grace?
very few bands were able to be cerebral and also rock hard the way the Airplane did - tremendously talented bunch of people.
One word, “Miracles”
I can't resist the dark and underlying ominous mood of this song and others from Crown of Creation.
Grace was an original, i thought her songwriting was underrated. Lather is a perfect example of what she could do, a haunting classic.
This song is a musical treasure. I love it.
One of my all time favorite songs. I don't know why, but as a youth this song really caught my ear, and I've loved it ever since.
My favorite Jefferson Airplane Album Crown of Creation I bought it the day it was released in 1968 and still enjoy listening to it to this day.....
Me too.
Surrealistic pillow is another good album by Jefferson airplane
I love this ancient, folky, medieval, style music.
reminds me of Donovan and his magic.
donovan is legit.
Almost like "Lady Jane" by the Rolling stones or "Sossity You're a Woman" by Jethro Tull
I like the acid induced graphics
Laid lsd

Because right now, that is about all we have left.
By 1: 25 pm today, I will officially turn 30 years old today. Rest in peace youth. :(
I was pretty blue about turning 30, now I am 67. I would give anything to be 30 again. Moral of the story, it's all relative.
Not yet, not yet
I had always thought this was a very unique, catchy song about a guy who was just "different." Knowing what we know now about autism, I can pretty much assume that "Lather" was about an autistic adult. Grace's lyrics are pure genius.
I love how unique this song is, and how Grace sings.
compassionate, haunting song about the loss of innocence.
I'll always remember this
as one of the most Tragic HAUNTING pieces of theirs.
Not tragic, but haunting, still: "Coming Back to Me."
Lather, Today, White Rabbit, Triad, and Wooden Ships. They all summon a lost spirit of the 60s that makes me feel sad.
Putting things into perspective, if Lather was alive today he'd be 83-84 years old (since he was 30 years old back when they sang it) and glad not to be dead.
Most my friends live to 30
Spencer Dryden (who the song was about--he turned 30 on April 7, 1968 and was Slick's lover, who wrote it for him) didn't live to be 84; he died in 2005 at the age of 66.
One of the best vocal proformances, Jefferson airplane had two unmatched singers
I started playing the guitar a few years ago. My only goal was to be able to play this one song in a group. Already knew all the words by heart.
That song takes me back, and made me wonder about getting older and now that I'm older it puts a great smile on my face, What a whole song, a total song, the words and that music. Thank you Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane.
This song makes all of us a little more wise. Beauty is the path.
I was working at a substance abuse treatment center a few years ago, as part of team going over some patients' charts and trying to figure out how many days of treatment we could get out of their insurance companies. One guy appeared to be sort of like Lather. I asked this 35 year old therapist if he was familiar with the Jefferson Airplane song 'Lather'. When he said that he hadn't, I explained the Lather syndrome is sort of like a guy that is 30 and is still living in his parent's basement and smoking marijuana all day long.

Isn’t that what most people that age do today,spooky.!!! 50 years later.!!!

Your message moved me. Good luck wherever you are
Nothing lasts forever , life is temporary , FREEDOM IS ETERNAL.
The song is about drummer Spencer Dryden turning 30.
Life is not temporary, life is everlasting. Life in this realm is short yes and we shed our flesh and bones. Yet, there are many lives to come, to experience our spiritual selves. Yet ultimately to come to a realisation that our only reason for 'being', is to love thy self and all around you.
I coded computers listening to this. In a sense she lives in those programs.
My favorite Jefferson Airplane song of all time
Simply put....one of JA's best....Grace and those lyrics....legendary!
My favorite song on album ! Excellent album ! Love love Jefferson

rdkg2 I DO
I was a baby but love 60’s music
There is no way to make someone really see or understand how it was!! The mid 50's and the 60's was the calm before the storm.

The great times of the 60s far outweigh the bad times,the worst being Nam.!!!

Saw this on the Smothers Bros. show 1968-69 .... long strange trip .. OMG
One of my favourite Airplane songs . Kind of soothing but with an underlying menace. This band completely changed my life. Thank you for posting it.
my last acid trip was 30 years ago, brings back memories I played this song a lot.... and a lot...
@Massey Craft Proof positive you weren't there. Bobby Goldsboro appealed to the grandmothers of the era. Few of them protested.
love this song, def a top 10 in the JA catalogue.
I'ts about there drummer spencer dryden, its telling a story about how his still doing the same shit at age 30 while his friends are working for corporate america, and the others are fighting the war in Vietnam.
I can listen to this over + over. After years I listened to After Bathing At Baxter's. Worthy of listening.
I'm 61 and have always been in love with Ms. Grace for she is soooo Slick
the feeling of nostalgia even though born after this song by about 20 years!
we will never grow older those of us who where there when this song was written
Still one of my top 10 all time personal favorites... thanks Grace!
Absolutely the greatest Airplane song EVER!!!
I have always loved this song. I have the album; I lived thru this time and everyday was a ball! It will never happen again, not in today's world. I toked a lot and never went on to hard drugs, or became an addict. We just lived our lives working all day and partying every night. Went to all the concerts at The Fillmore East in New york city too. Those were great times! But we are still alive and well today, even the ones from the Nam. Rock on people!!!!!!!
Awesome that you enjoyed your life in the 60's so cool
Love this song, I was a big kid back then... LOVE GRACE SLICK.
I'm here because of XM Radio's Deep Tracks. Great station. Great DJ's. The DJ's are the best thing about XM Radio.
just hear this music yesterday my husband introduced it to me ,and i love it i like it just wow amazing old never get old.
Such a beautiful song!
1 of their most memorable songs! Totally love it!!!!
Isn't this song about Spencer Dryden? I love it!
Não fazem mais músicas como antigamente. LINDO !!!!!! :D
Bati aqui brazuca ✋!!!
straordinaria grace!!!
WOW, does this bring back some great memories of the 70"s I forgot just how HOT Grace was....Great song Great album Great Band, Live long and fly high Airplane!!!!!!!

I saw them do a reunion show in the late 80s (as close as I could ever get to seeing them - I'm a little young!) and they sounded incredible.
one of my most favorite songs since I was about seven years old.
I'm at at hotel where the shampoo and such are Lather brand. This song wont stop playing in my head, so I had to play it here. Oh, Gracie! I saw the Airplane and Starship many times.

Jefferson Airplane IS one of the best psychedelic rock bands of all time...This song is one of the most emotional i have ever heard...Long Live Rock Spirit...
Grace wrote the most interesting songs !
I saw this group (the original lineup) in late 80s (I'm too young to have seen them in the 60s) and they were still incredible. A great show...
An incredible song, touching. I love it. Written for Spencer Dryden's 30th birthday. "And I should have told him, no you're not old. And I should have let him go on, baby wide." Chilling!
I totally agree. Thematically a combination of youth, (anti-) capitalism, resistance, establishment, war, farewell and transience.
what a great band. i would almost give my life for a live concert with them back in the 60s. must have been a fantastic time. love to all.
the 60s were important but so were the 80s and i honestly think in the next few years this generation will change the world in ways we cant even imagine.
Classic. Of a Bona-fide classic album. Superb stuff.
This makes my hair stand on end & goosebumps popup, tears form & joy enters my heats & spills from my eyes
just the same happens to me almost imediately when listening to those songs. as if one part of me has been there once and remembers forgotten things pearling into the mind :)
Agreed,I even dream of being with lather and Grace
Hard to say...one of my favorites, but then I love everything they have done.
one of the best originals by grace. just love this.
I can remember watching this clip the first time it was broadcast. It was on a Canadian show called "The Music Scene," about 1971 or '72.
ethereal and dreamy tune 💫
I was on amazon this morning and someone said lather is one of the craziest songs they've heard. I downloaded this. Lather is one of my new Jefferson Airplane finds. What an absolutely beautiful song. the lyrics convery such a beautiful story and I absolutely love the music and the italic singing.
Ever notice that the best music from your favorite bands was never played on the radio?
Sadly... 😔
I believe that four cuts from “Crown of Creation” were played on the radio in 1968.
Thank God because we would have gotten sick of them.!
Lather will turn 64 in January, child is the best of the compliments that you can lay on me, because no, I'm not old, and I continue to smile baby wide!!!
A wonderful, mystical song, tune from 1968. The music of the 1960s are some of the best of the last third of the twentieth century!

Furthermore, most of this music, and from Jefferson Airplane has meaning, and significance.
this song is a special one, from another space in time... an absolute trip
As a teenager in high school this was the first Airplane song I ever heard and I thought Grace was Irish.
No, but she does enunciate very nicely. She has the looks too. But no. Swedish (American).
My friend is getting older but is still full of life. Her son keeps telling her, "Don't you know how OLD you are?" No, as a matter of fact, she doesn't and, up til now, has refused that reality. I played this for me today because she said, "I just realized how old I am". Broke my heart.
When I was 10 years old and heard this for the first time, I decided to be "Lather" until the day I died. I want the same for her.
Great tune. Have not heard it in decades!
I heard the airplane from my older sister, she had their records, and sometimes as a nubile, I heard things that sorta shook my little 6th grade world, but this one of all kinda creeped me a little... they were the greatest of the San Francisco era, never to be outclassed!
It is difficult to make a vocal cover of this magical song , i believe the breath points and its amount is the secret
totally agree! and grace's voice is incredible..probably the best in rock !
The ACCENT WAS SPOT ON ‼️
You show excellent taste. Just don't disillusion yourself by going to see what they all look like today. Just remember them the way they looked then. And listen to as much of their music as you can. You're lucky to be alive with RUclips to play with!

Such a great song... Really played on the paranoia of growing up into an adult and leaving "childhood" behind. OMG ! I'm 30 !!! :-)
thank you for posting this video.
Grace is one of the transcendantly wonderful rock and rollers.
Grace was so incredible. Oh to have been old enough back then.
Still, as a child of the 70's instead of the 60's I suppose I can't complain. Still better than what came later.
Thank you martislick for posting this! First time I could SEE her singing one of my favourite songs of JA.
This is excactly the kind of song that you hear endlessly.When I first listened to it I really cried and the first thought that came to my mind was that there are no such songs and bands nowadays.That's a great pity.We must do something to make famous singers who sing such kind of songs today and unfortunately a few people know them.Take for example The Old House Playground.They are sooo great but so unknown.That is the real pity.I believe we have to change this and I think that we DO can!!!!!
beautiful
only jack, korma, and grace are still living!!!
wow your 15 and your listening to jefferson airplane. OH MY GOD! The gods have truly blessed us today
The only God is God the creator of Heaven and Earth; God's other namea are Johova, Elohim, Yahweh; Repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour
@@melissaonorati2243 I know it's been 4 years but I was wondering if you
had ever seen Piper Laurie's performance as Sissy Spacek's mother in the film "Carrie' - your delivery and timing with religious warnings are straight out of that movie - check it out. Amen.
With all of the other huge hits from this band, I still think song was probably the most underrated. Probably the best song along with Two Heads off of the Bathing at Baxter's album.
