"It is the spring time of my loving, the second season...I am to know.." I don't know but every time I hear or read the word spring The Rain Song immediately pops up in my mind. Anyway, I live in Long Island, New York, and the weather here is awful right now. It's snowing, later on we're gonna have sleet, and then believe it or not, they're predicting hailing!

He was correcting you because you over-exaggerated the length of the song. Danalectro59, I used to feel the exact same way you do, and your first post on the thread reflected my exact thoughts. I could find plenty of killer drum beats by Bonzo such as the intro on When The Levee Breaks, or NFBM, but after listening to ALS for a few consecutive times, I now realize how amazing that song is. See I used to hate the fast paced rhythm of the song...no mellow melody, no killer solo, and it sounded the same all throughout the song. However, i understand that every LZ song has its background, there's a mood in each song. In other words, when I hear When The Levee Breaks, I think of a huge storm approaching, a hurricane preparing to blow an entire city away; only because the roots of the song come from a blues song about a great flood that happened long ago. Same thing for ALS; achilles as we know was one of the greatest warriors ever, thus thinking about war, battling, fighting, etc..makes the feel and rhythm of the song a lot fitting. You kinda have to put yourself in the moment, and you'll fell the epicness. Kashmir, another song that puts my mind in the middle of a desert, or the middle east. I now like a lot of song I didn't like when I was younger, and viceversa, but it's all because I didn't put my mind in it. The Rover can say that it's a song for 12 year olds, I however HATED that song when I was at that age. As you grow your taste changes obviously, and it's true that to each its own, but I never hurts to see or hear things from a different perspective once in a while

Hmm.. I'm a Met fan and I always heard Sweet Child O' Mine or Welcome to the Jungle when Piazza was up to the plate. (Since he was such a big Guns N' Roses fan) He must have changed it some days though. I know David Wright requested Whole Lotta Love for his at bats.

I like that poster in your room Spacewoman! This is me a couple of months ago in Astoria, NY

Oh My Jeeeeesus, steve! That's some astounding piece of information there! Thank you so much! Yes indeed it is Take my body. It makes sense, as according to many believers in after-death spirits (ghosts); whenever a person dies, the over-mourning by his/her relatives or friends causes the spirit to "remain" in the earth, and not go where it's supposed to go "(heaven or hell). It is until when people get over the death, that the spirit can finally rest in peace. Hmmm... I think it's more like "Let me blow your horn". Listen carefully to the studio version. You can tell on the Ahmet Ertgun concert too.
