A psychedelic Alice opens in Disneyland

Looks like we'll have to go back to Disneyland to see the new Alice section in the revamped Disney California Adventure.  This Alice is inspired by the weird, colorful word of Tim Burton's film that's re-imagined through the theme park lens.  It's a House of Cards nightclub that opens in the evening with arcade and a rock band headed up by a Mad Hatter channeling Mick Jagger and a White Rabbit dj channeling deadmau5. The caterpillar dance in channeling Pilobus dancers.  Alice is channeling Ashley Tisdale from High School the Musical. Check out the video here.  Maybe just a little squeaky clean, or just squeaky teen Disney, but still seems fun.

Not your mother's White Rabbit

Whew!  Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' "White Rabbit" is a white hot version of Jefferson's Airplane 1960s Singer Grace Potter of Grace Potter and the Nocturnalspsychadelic tune.  You can find lots of YouTube versions as the group played the song all over last summer at places like the Gathering of the Vibes.  And it's on the Almost Alice soundtrack for the new Alice in Wonderland film.  Here are two video versions by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals: the group's video for the Almost Alice soundtrack as shown on Amazon and one from the Deep Roots festival in Georgia .

By the way, the Dormouse never said, "Feed your head."  That myth was part of the 1960s fascination with Alice in Wonderland that put a psychadelic spin on the book.  The Caterpillar does smoke a Hookah.  But there's no documentation that Carroll ever used drugs. He may have occassionally drunk red wine. And LSD was developed a century after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published.
