Mickey Thomas, was the new kid on the block when he joined Jefferson Starship in the summer of 1979 and immediately started working on the Freedom at Point Zero album. Mickey says that “Jane” was always the song of “Firsts”. The first song he rehearsed with the band, the first song they recorded and the first song they released which was a #1 debut for the group.
So, needless to say, the success of “Jane”, made life a lot easier for Mickey and the new Jefferson Starship band. The song is actually about someone who can't relate to a girl that just doesn't understand what's best for her when it comes to love.

Mickey Thomas has such an incredible voice. In this song, they kind of remind me of Kansas a bit. All around great musicianship. I could play the first 25 seconds of this song over and over. It has to be one of the best intro’s ever! Actually, now that I think about it, I bet Mickey Thomas could win American Idol in 25 seconds!
Hey, doesn’t Mickey Thomas look a lot like the late Canadian magician Doug Henning?
Or wait! Maybe Tony Orlando?
Naaaah…it's gotta be Doug Henning!
