Even if you’ve never performed music before an audience, you’ve probably done something along those lines—a school play, a presentation in the classroom or in work—and know what it’s like to have thoughts run through your head while you’re “in the moment.” Maybe you give yourself a mental high five while you hit your mark. Maybe you suppress a Jeez! when you flub a line. Maybe you’re feeling so good on stage that you have a flash of feeling like you know what it meant to appear in front of a rapt audience at some legendary venue.

As you watch this video of The Jefferson Airplane performing “Mexico (Go Ride the Music),” pick a moment and see if you can’t write a “thought bubble” representing what could possibly be going through the mind of any band member in the midst of performing this song.

  1. Any male band member “Who’s with Grace tonight?”
    I actually kind of dig this song!

  2. 1:26 – 1:31 “Hey, I don’t think the audience realizes that this is a parody. Ha! Menckin was right. I can’t believe people are buying into this shit!”

  3. “Covington’s outta here. I hear the turtles split and Johnny Barbata is available.”

  4. 2:11 – “Man, we’re good. We’re so good, it’s like we’re building this city!”
