It's amazing how people can embarrass themselves and yet think they are somehow contributing something to society.

Bought this 8-track at Morrison Brothers Music in Cleveland, played it in my after-market 8-track player mounted under the dash next to my FM converter. Good times except for the hideous clothing we wore back then.

Dear fuck I hope we survive the "influencer" age. Whole self-serving generation of shit for brains.

Interesting post Kingfish.... the Zep video captures the power of their presence back in the day when they ruled above all when they played live.

But, sorry - but the two lady commentators are great examples of how the younger generations can't possibly grasp the gravity of things in "history". Their blatantly obvious self-importance with having their own vapid video cast to watch/hear themselves is so shallow and meaningless. They really have no idea the lack of soul and creativity their generation has, but which is showcased through - technology - which without, most of them would be what they fear the most - being average nobodies at best.

"Ok, Boomer".....3...2...1....

Geez, so younger people don't know songs that came out before they, and in some cases their parents, were born. And when Zep was brand new, a lot of their fans didn't know much about their parents' or grandparents' music. And few today of any age have 17th and 18th century music on whatever player they use to listen to music. And many of those who were rocking to Plant and crew when they were new don't know much about current songs. It doesn't make any of it "bad," "good," or anything else. I really don't mind nice kids playing on my lawn and I don't tell others what they should or should not allow on their lawn. Mainly because my lawn is MY fucking lawn and their lawn is THEIR fucking lawn. I'm pretty sure that - both with music and lawns - is the way things ought to be (with not a single apology to Rush Limbaugh).

Au contraire`, Wally. I was looking groovy in my mint-green leisure suit at the Lamar.

Elizabeth Zharoff is a metal and classic rock enthusiast. Also a pretty good opera singer. Heaven forbid she should like the older stuff and discuss. Nice to see one of our crotches show up. Would probably gripe about Cindy Crawford having a mole on the back of her thigh if he had a chance with her.

Did not watch, or cannot watch, because, one, Led Zeppelin is a sky high steaming pile of overrated cow flop — oh, I know, they sold millions and had to be the greatest because all of you old crotches had your copies you wore out — and, two, because, Great God Almighty in His heaven above eating cat head biscuits and tomato gravy, who cares how some kid “reacts” to anything?

“ Nice to see one of our crotches show up.”, they can't help it, Mr. Fish. They are unhappy with themselves, and can't be happy with anything else. The high point of their day is to ruin someone else's happiness.

Everybody’s different. I love some Zeppelin.

Got paired up in a golf tournament with a guy in his late 20’s or so. (I’m in my late 30’s.) He asked if we could play some music on the Bluetooth I brought. I said sure and turned on my go to Spotify playlist not thinking about it. After listening to some Pearl Jam, Counting Crows, George Strait, and Eagles songs, this same Zep song came on (Immigrant song). He looked me dead in the eye and ask me to “turn off this devil music”. I chuckled until I realized he was serious. I turned it off. A few holes later he said, “man, I wasn’t trying to be rude. That music is just too hardcore for me. I can’t do metal.” I couldn’t do anything but politely smile. Zeppelin is not metal. This guy would absolutely soil himself if I turned on him some “metal”. I learned that day that not everyone has taste. Especially in music. I’m sure he’s a Morgan Wallen fan. 😂

For the sake of inclusion, the Dread Zeppelin version of this song should be included with the videos above.

Damn, KF, looks like you need to post some Millie Vanilli and Flock of Seagulls for AOC/10:12

I'm not sure why that comment brought it to mind, but I remember the first time I heard "Ca Plane Pour Moi" used in a commercial and thinking/saying that I was pretty sure no one involved did quite enough research on that. For those that were not at least teenagers in the mid-70s or don't know the song by name (which is probably 99.9% of those who will read this regardless of age), Google up the history of the song and its inspiration, "Jet Boy Jet Girl." If you can find it, check out the video of the original version by Elton Motel. And then, be amused if you hear it used on some TV commercial for, well, nearly everything that is advertised on TV.

Uh huh. I think you'd be surprised how many younglings listen to LZ.

They were playing LZ in Kroger the other day.

"They were playing LZ in Kroger the other day."

That was a Depends commercial. Wait, no. Depends is Guns-N-Roses, Metamucil is Zep, and AARP is the Stones.

But the younger folks haven't been left out. Hefty has the Kardashians, KC Masterpiece is Taylor Swift, and in a real coup, Stanley Tools managed to score the Biden and Trump spawn along with 147 other pols' kids from around the globe (a full set in SAE and metric doncha know).

You know it's on when you're at church and the Praise Band does Wang Dang Sweet Poontang and people are sing along and all praising and running the aisles.
