Old Man Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I recently saw the 1975 movie The Hindenburg. The movie, like Led Zeppelin, were both a little before my time. I was a teen of the '80's, but I was still a huge Zep fan in the 9 80's and beyond. The Hindenburg was described in the movie as, "The Zep." I wondered how many high school, and maybe a few college, kids at the time joked they loved "The Zep" but maybe not that Zep. High school students, by nature, are automatically sarcastic. I am sure some made the connection and had a wise comment about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans I encountered, at least pre-internet, had no awareness the first album cover depicts an actual historical event, let alone that the event is known as "The Hindenburg Disaster".

Old Man Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 It is a good movie. From 1975. George C. Scott is in it and some other big names. I would say it has an all star cast. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I still think there is a space for giant airships IF - someone like Musk decides to turn the attention of their mega-wallets to it. Same goes for some limited return of selected steam trains (maybe more so in England/Australia, not sure if Us has love affair with steam trains) Sorry, a bit off topic.....
