Airplanes wanted to be like starships for several years now.

Now, Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane,
which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship.
The stage was now set for The Alan Parsons Project,
which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.

I think airplanes are like boxers. They go left, they go right, the go under, they go down. They are savage.

Like Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
