9. Thanks - I needed that. I actually saw someone do the SSB at a sporting event
in a similar fashion - it was very embarrasing. I still remember it and it was in the very late 1970's...
(He was wearing a tan leisure suit...)

3. So did Rolling Stone. They always hated the Zep, but the band managed
Edited on Fri Apr-23-10 05:13 PM by old mark
to sell millions of records anyway.

There's always Rush....:puke: :puke:

m
Added: I hate Led Zepelin, I do
I hate them old, I hate them new
I hate them then, I hate them now
I never liked them anyhow

Can't stand to see them anyplace
Can't stand the drums
Can't stand the bass
And Oh, that voice
And that guitar
I hate them near
I hate them far
I hate them old,
I hate them new
I hate Led Zeppelin, I do!

have a good weekend anyway

7. I didn't know Zep ever released any singles! It was considered a
blow to your street cred to want to get on the Top 40. FM and album rock was what it was all about.

I remember listening to KSAN in SF as a young teenaged girl. I had to beg my parents for an FM radio, believe it or not. In fact, my only regret is that I didn't have an IPod at that age, I loved "progressive rock" more than sex, more than life itself when I was 15. It gives me empathy for sex-starved young men, who feel that same regret over not having downloadable porn!

12. I bought the "Over the Hills and Far Away" single.
never really been a fan but I liked that one. The riot at their concert in Tampa Stadium was my jumping off point.

13. Still have a 45" of "Immigrant Song"
B side is "Hey Hey What Can I Do", which wasn't on the album, and would remain otherwise unreleased until the box sets came out decades later.

10. How about ZZ Top?
That's my housecleaning music. Put on some ZZ Top, turn up the volume and get going. Rock with the broom.

Hi Mark! :hi:

14. Led Zeppelin's first album...
.
...was the SECOND album I ever bought.
.
Much more blues-oriented than their subsequent works -- and still
the only album of theirs that I really like.
.
Boomers (the ones who took/take themselves and their music WAY too
seriously) and their damned Bic lighters have forever ruined my
enjoyment of "Stairway to Heaven"... not to mention "Free Bird".
.
And I'm saying that as a Boomer.
.
When I had the "all-original music" band, there was a song or two
that I really didn't participate in -- and it gave me a chance to
go to the bar or the bathroom or "whatever" :evilgrin: and I used to LOVE
to stand hidden in the crowd and shout at the top of my lungs for
"FREE BIRD!!! FREE BIRD!!! C'MON, YOU ARTSY-FARTSY MOTHERFUCKERS...
PLAY SOME REAL MUSIC!!!!"
.
After the first 2 or 3 times, the rest of the band realized who that
asshole out there in the crowd was.
.

17. I once stood onstage and played the opening bass riff to "Windy"
by The Association...(we were a Chicago Blues band) and actually got some applause from the crowd...I have never played "Free Bird" in my life, no plans to start now.

But I can play a few of Zep's blues covers on guitar and harmonica....

20. With a purple operator, and a fifty cent hat. That could be so.
But what if the operator is not purple?


You know, you could make the case that people are not heard, in many ways.

It could be the concept of selective hearing, or maybe people only hearing what they want.

Or even a more tech type of concept like auto ignores, where what is typed is not seen.


But that assumes that a person has to read something for it to have value.


And in the long run of my existence, I know that I am heard, and I think most people feel that way. To think otherwise would be a form of despair, and I think that kind of comment is geared to create despair.
