Cold and gloomy. No sign at all of any Spring weather. Same as January really ETA: We have had no frost this winter. Get up this morning, you guessed it, frost

I hear "to be a rock and not to roll, not to roll."

Morning Steve, Somehow, I seemed to have missed this one. Could you please send me a link when you have a moment? Thanks! -Scott

I have said before that Page is free to do whatever he wants and fair play to him, he’s earned his right. Him selling merchandise doesn’t affect my appreciation of the Zeppelin catalogue either But, in my opinion, and I’m entitled to one, just as you are, it’s unbecoming to be selling over priced mugs, polo shirts etc and anything with his signature on it and I think he overdoes it . If folk want to buy replicas of his guitars and amps that’s fine too. It’s more the other stuff I quibble over there is a flip side though. the more stuff he signs and sells, the less valuable it becomes, making it less collectible to a collector.

They do. 😄

I don’t really get the criticism. Jimmy is a collector. He commissions things to market to the fellow collector. Everything I’ve ever seen with Jimmy’s name attached to it is of the highest quality. I’ve played through the Sundragon amp and it’s amazing. He also typically makes cost effective options available. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. The man is 80 years old for fucks sake. What he does with his legacy is his business, and none of it sullies the music he has given YOU in any way.

All these rehashed version are starting to pile out and really get out of hand, no? Don't get me wrong, the packaging, the work that goes into it is pretty impressive, but how many EQ tweaks does one need....

They'd probably fit right in with the other dei weirdos in the Biden admin.

To be a Rock and not to Roll.

There's a street a few miles from me named "Hedge Row." Was kinda cool the first time I saw the street sign.

I just got new bi-focal glasses and they kind of drive me crazy, especially for reading as I have to pull the book fairly close. Not very comfortable.

We are 50 years or so from the middle of the Zep era. If I go back 50 years from 1973-75 we are at 1923-25. Recording technology was in it's infancy. Records were just hitting the market in a big way. People were buying 78 rpm singles of songs by Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven , Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Al Jolson, Paul Whiteman, Ben Bernie, King Oliver, Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke, Fletcher Henderson. The first Duke Ellington single I can find listed was released in 1927.

Great find. A few notes. First, that outfit takes me back to 1975. Second, I looked up the episode. It aired Nov 1, 1975. It was filmed June 13, 1975, just 3 months after the release of the album.

I'm sick of people from England abusing the term definitive. That term was never used 35 years ago in the USA until the internet came out, Definitive term is as abused as Pumpkin Spice

ABC World News this morning played "Whole Lotta Love" as the intro music for their story on a pregnant octopus in Oklahoma giving birth to 50 offspring.
