  1. So being a racist jerk isn't a character flaw?
  2. My local rock and Top 40 radio stations definitely played Stairway To Heaven during the early 1970's. Maybe they copied it from Led Zeppelin IV onto an 8-track tape then played the tape for their audiences.
  3. Julian Bond, civil rights icon and NAACP director died on August 15, 2015 at the age of 75. Bond co-founded SNCC (the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) and dropped out of Morehouse College to serve as the group's communication director in 1961. He later served as both a Georgia state representative and senator. He was a good man who worked hard to make America live up to the values it preaches. RIP.
  4. Wasn't George Takei one of the original ST crew? He's still living.
  5. You may have indirectly answered my earlier question why Page often wears sunglasses inside.
  6. Ha! I knew someone here would know the scoop. Thanks guys.
  7. What's with the badges Page and Stamos are both wearing? Page's is on his left pant leg while Stamos' is on his shirt? Does anyone know background info about this photo?
  8. Had I been in John Bonham's shoes, I wouldn't hire my brother either and my decision wouldn't have anything to do with my brother's abilities. I want the freedom to fire anyone who works for me without worrying about damaging important family relationships. IMO, it's a lot easier to find competent people to work for you than it is to find another sibling. I would share my new wealth with my family in other ways.
  9. That looks like John Stamos, an American actor, in the above photo with Page.
  10. Don't blame Agnetha. Page mentioned during an interview that he and his band mates didn't get to meet her though they wanted to.
  11. I don't care what the Big Liebowski said; The Eagles are a good band. I didn't attend one of their concerts until the Hell Freezes Over tour. I paid $90 for my ticket but, it was worth it. They put on a damn good show that night. One of the things that impressed me were their tight vocal harmonies. I loved the call and response thing they did towards the end of New Kid in Town.
  12. A sandwich I invented myself: Sliced cucumbers, chopped red onion, black olives, feta cheese and dill stirred with a dash of olive oil then stuffed in a toasted whole wheat pita. I'm drinking a cup of Bigelow's "Plantation Mint" tea with it.
  13. IIRC, their gear had already been shipped to the U.S. before they postponed the tour. Still, you would think Page would have had a spare guitar laying about his house.
  14. Luv Yu orange almond cookies and a glass of cold green tea.
  15. Not at all. I haven't listened to as much of Plant's post-Zep music as many posters. I enjoy reading the differing opinions on it.
  16. Do you think the better musicians declined to work with Plant after FON because word had got out about his control freak tendencies?
  17. What's the deal with Blackmore's mother-in-law?
  18. Ritournelle The Guiding Light theme song between 1975-1981. It had such a beautiful, calm, dream-like quality.
  19. Egg salad on a croissant and a cup of hot spearmint tea. It's rainy and a little chilly in my neck of the woods today.
  20. I once read that Linda McCartney took the bottom photo. Is this true?
  21. Interesting stuff. It appears The Yardbirds relied upon Page's guitar wizardry to carry their concerts when Keith Relf's voice was under the weather. I'd love to know exactly what the semi-pornographic drawings were on the back of Page's guitar. Did he draw them of were they already there when Jeff Beck gave him that guitar?
  22. RIP Mr. Squire and thank you for the music.
  23. OTOH, venturing into prog rock may have been a good move for Page at that time. Working in a new genre; particularly one that requires a high level of musical skill may have kept Page on his toes.
  24. Babs, I'm sending prayers your way and burning some sage on your behalf.
