PineappleAva Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 So, I was standing by watching the news and to my horror Fox News started playing Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll! There is no way they possibly gave permission for that! I feel a sue coming on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) They play snippets of a LOT of cool rock songs on there - as long as they give the artist credit (which they do), no lawsuit is applicable. Why the "horror"? Afraid of a little conservatism? Edited July 19, 2016 by Stryder1978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 FOX News is certainly no worse than the Clinton Central Network (CNN) or the More Socialist Nonsense and Bull Crap (MSNBC) network. At least their anchors appreciate good music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Which organization is ousting its leader over sexual harassment? But then again, he probably won't go....he fits too well there. Edited July 19, 2016 by Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other network covers for your precious party and its lying, national security endangering, resume full of impressive titles with no accomplishments or negative accomplishments candidate, sorry you don't have universal media solidarity. Besides, political stuff is supposed to be off limits here. Put this aside and let's get back to pondering why Jimmy's been saying "this is the year" for 13 straight years.

Fox News has been the cable news ratings leader by a wide margin for ages. Politics aside, I have no problems with Led Zeppelin being associated with winners.

It is easier to lay blame than it is to accept responsibility. So much easier it is to destroy than it is to create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_the_evening Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) To the OPs original posting: this could be another one of those "pay one price to a gigantic music publishing house, and you have access to all the music it controls". Just saying, it could be that way. Also, I have heard Zep in Cadillac commercials and others in the last few years, so if they still control the music, maybe they are loosening the reigns a bit for beer money!

chef free Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 This is a Led Zeppelin site. Take your partisan politics elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That's one of the (many) things I love about Zeppelin, they were about as non-partisan as a rock band could be. In an era when virtually every rock band was preaching politics in their songs, Zeppelin steered clear of all that. What tiny little bits of it may have crept in paled in comparison to what many of their peers were doing. Even today, when so many celebrities feel it necessary to pontificate about their politics, you never hear anything from Page, Plant or Jones.

Brigante Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) As was discussed on here a couple of years ago, Jimmy once said quite openly that he'd voted for Thatcher ('not just for lighter taxes', either) - so he's hardly going to be fussed about Fox News!
