I think I've lived too long.

I've been watching a DVR of "Morning Joe" and didn't get to the mouse in time to skip over the commercials when I hear "White Rabbit" flood my headphones. Puzzled, I looked at the screen and it's an ad for Celebrity Cruises. Lord almighty.

Yeow.

🙄 😏

[Zoonart]

1. I know....

are psychedelic cruises a thing?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Yeah, that's weird.

Knowing what "White Rabbit" was about, I have to wonder what happens on those cruises. "Feed your head," indeed.

[Zoonart]

3. LOL...

and what is the bartender muddling into that cocktail?

[YOHABLO]

4. I don't think Grace Slick had that in mind.

[Laffy Kat]

8. I wonder how much $$ JA made selling out that one? nt

[Merlot]

14. They deserve any money they can make off of their music

Also, didn't Grace Slick license one of their songs and then donate the money to a charity?

[BarbaRosa]

5. Yup.

[Laffy Kat]

6. OMG I know!

I couldn't believe it either.

7. I can't imagine being packed on

a ship with that many people, some of whom could be tripping. Not one for large collections of people, one with no escape... I could see where White Rabbit might apply.

[catbyte]

9. No kidding. I've always thought of cruises as floating prisons with all-you-can-eat buffets.

[YOHABLO]

10. I think the tripping starts after you've hit the buffet.

Cruise ships have a reputation you know.

[2naSalit]

13. I've heard!

Adds another aspect to no escape!

Besides, I don't like being over deep water for some reason. I didn't mind it back when I was young but I have a strong aversion to it now.

[YOHABLO]

15. Hell I was in the Navy and I have an aversion to it now.

[snowybirdie]

11. Booked on a Celebrity Cruise

in a few months. Can't wait to be stoned for 7 days straight! Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha

[Atticus]

12. That song was a BIG part of the soundtrack of my college years. Grace Slick's soaring voice

still stirs my soul. Sad to see it put to this use.

[YOHABLO]

16. The advertisement agencies are doing it to all old 60s and 70s tunes.

[Bayard]

17. I said this is a thread a few days ago

Its just bizarre. But then, every time I hear a great old song being prostituted to push some product, it makes me blech. I hate it.

Give me the hilarious Geico, or Suburu with dogs, commercials any day!

[Leith]

18. That's not as bad as when they used Iggy Pop's Lust for Life

in their commercials.

[The Figment]

19. The one that got to me was the Cadillac ad that used Led Zeppelin as the background music

That's when the thought of getting old first crossed my mind...Led Heads needing some "cush on the tush"

[IcyPeas]

20. yeah, I don't get why they used White Rabbit either

and it's played on CNN incessantly.

21. A few months back I received the new copy of AARP magazine

Carlos Santana was on the cover.
I saw him at the Fillmore, introduced by Phil Graham, before his first
album came out. Never got to see the Airplane though.
Or Moby Grape.
