  3. Denny Laine is the father of Helen Grant's daughter Lucianne, born in 1987. Peter Grant once referred to him as "a waste of food". 😄
  4. As I thought more about it I had the realization free form radio was in large part responsible for cultivating my broad knowledge and awareness of popular music. Nowadays, if younger listeners are tuned into radio at all, they're probably being fed a steady diet of programming lists that have at best a couple dozen different songs.
  5. It depends on the age of the contestants. I'd fully expect most Baby Boomers to know the answer, and at least half of Generation X, but beyond that all bets are off. I remember about five years ago I asked a Millennial to name in reverse order the US Presidents. They struggled to reply "Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton"...silence... Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy was released 50 YEARS ago, but it's not so much like asking a kid in 2000 to name a number one album from 1950. Rather, the realization that there are fewer and fewer truly universal pop culture points of reference being established within the 21st century entertainment landscape. We had AM/FM and three main tv channels providing 90% of pop culture entertainment. These Tide pod eaters have 200 channel cable tv packages, streaming and the net. Actually, I myself have noticed over the past ten years that whenever a so-called celebrity death makes the news I have no idea who those celebrities are. I'd be hard pressed to name three shows on television right now, or a single hit song on any pop chart. It's strange because not only are the '70s-'80s right in my wheelhouse, as expected, but I also have more than a fair amount of knowledge about pop culture from the '50-60s, whereas again the Millenials are completely self-referential. They think history began when they were born.
  6. I too was an avid Imus listener and recall all of that. Just as abortion has morphed from "safe, legal and rare" to "on demand at anytime" so too "Heather Has Two Mommies" has morphed to "Heather Has Two Mommies, Doesn't Know Which Bathroom to Use and was Defeated in a Women's Sports Competition by a Biological Male".
  7. Inside nearly every bloated, self-indulgent three hour '77 show is a 90 minute masterpiece.
  8. Each of the four was irreplaceable and the loss of one, regardless of whom, meant the end. With the benefit of hindsight, Page should not have spent most of the rest of his active days pursuing an approximation of the original.
  9. This push to confuse the masses along gender lines is intended to demolish the notion of natural law, objective reality and the traditional family structure.
  10. Robert Plant and Dan Pennington-Bridges -- that's the Best of Britain right there.
  11. That is my recollection as well. I have the vinyl bootleg too but haven't listened to it in 30 years. The recording is undoubtedly on the internet.
  12. Zepfan - All Things Led Zeppelin: Ep022: Artie Costanzo - 19 Led Zeppelin shows (Recorded 10) on Apple Podcasts
  13. Isn't it something how wrinkles and grey hair add some gravitas to a wholly corrupt, lifelong grifter? Oh well, at least Jimmy Carter can join Rosylyn in heaven knowing he's no longer the worst President in America's history thanks to Joe Xiden.
  14. Complexity wasn't the point, paying homage to Link Wray was and to that end he delivered a five star tribute. Recognize and appreciate what he and his bandmates accomplished sonically on stage that night -- the TONE and DELIVERY is a mirror image of the original recording.
  15. Because Russians support the war and Russian president Vladimir Putin.
  16. To mark Veteran's Day in America, the Biden Administration announced plans at Arlington National Cemetary for a Tomb of the Unknown Pronoun.
  17. I used to feel bad about letting calls go straight to voicemail, especially if I knew it was someone seeking to "catch up" or "reconnect". You know the great singer John Mellencamp? He of all people changed my philosophy about the phone such that I now have no qualms whatsover about ignoring calls. He said "I have a cellphone but it's for MY convienence". I'd really like an isolated place in the country but, and I know this is going to sound illogical, I don't think I could relax not knowing what was out there. I'm fearful about my personal security, especially as I grow older. I suppose I could retain a security detail but that speaks to Bong Man's point about would something complement or complicate day to day living.
  18. I gotta get this off my chest and let me know if you can relate. I'll preface this by saying it has nothing to do with anyone here. All that said, it's a source of deep resentment for me to encounter people I haven't seen in years and years and they'll gradually take that as an opportunity to unload all of their bullshit on me for free advice or counsel. Immigration concerns, tax issues, home buying or repair and on and on. The moment you tell them something they disagree with they want to argue the point, and they are arguing from ignorance because they never made the effort to become more well informed in the first place. Even more infuriating is when it's not someone I haven't seen in years and years, but someone I barely know who uses a mutual acquantaince as a conduit for similar support. Finally, how about people you seldom if ever see who want to cold call you on a weekend to "catch up". In other words, waste two hours of your time on a bunch of meaningless bullshit of no consequence to what's going on today. You know, Ozzy once said he makes it a point to cut ties with people from the past...childhood friends, whatever...as otherwise it leads to sustaining connections that have long since lost any relevance to your current life. I didn't necessarily agree with that at the time, but seriously, the older I get I just want to be left alone. I don't mind dealing with people but I prefer to do so in small doses --- ten or fifteen minutes tops.
  19. A remarkable discovery that settles this matter once and for all.

  21. Yes! This duo, along with Jimmy, delivered a sonic tribute that is astonishingly faithful to the original recording.
  22. There could be any number of reasons and there's no point reading into it. I recall when Jeff had two gigs at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in April 2014, he invited Jimmy to join him for an onstage jam either night but Jimmy flatly refused. A few years prior, at the 02 in London, Jeff invited Jimmy and Ronnie Wood to jam with him on what was Jeff's 65th birthday. Both declined and at that time, Jeff told Jimmy we was "chicken".
  23. Very pleased, proud and overjoyed for Jimmy. Link Wray means so much to him, and Jimmy really rose to the occasion to deliver a fulsome tribute. It's been so long since Jimmy mesmerized a New York City audience, to see them all literally leap to their feet is a real testament to the enduring connection between them.
