Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. 

Part 30 of the series features David Freiberg fielding some very difficult questions, as he gives his impressions of Jefferson Starship’s Eighties era, from 1979’s Freedom At Point Zero to his unceremonious exit during the sessions for Starship’s Knee Deep In The Hoopla. 

Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

• Who actually titled his song “Jane”;
• Whether or not there was trepidation about Grace rejoining the band;
• His feelings about Jefferson Starship’s music in the Eighties;
• If the name change to Starship had a deeper significance to him;
• What David did for the 20 years between leaving and rejoining Jefferson Starship;
• The rumors behind his firing;
• The fallout between David and Paul Kantner;
• And an overview of the four albums released by the 1980s iteration of Jefferson Starship: Freedom At Point Zero, Modern Times, Winds Of Change, and Nuclear Furniture, plus Starship’s Knee Deep In The Hoopla.
