In the episode White Rabbit,
Jack starts hallucinating that his dead father is on the island and
chases after him, just as Alice chases after her white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. The song White Rabbit
was written by Grace Slick, who based the lyrics on Lewis Carroll's
book Alice In Wonderland. Like many young musicians in San Francisco,
Slick did a lot of drugs. She saw lots of drug references in Carroll's
book, including the pills, the smoking caterpillar, the mushroom, and
lots of other images that are generally trippy. She noticed that lots
of children's' stories involve a substance of some kind that alters
reality, and felt it was time to write a song about it.
Although Jack's hallucination was not drug induced, he still must have felt as though he was going crazy.
