1. A couple of guys in high school are arguing about two lame hair metal bands (I can’t remember which, and don’t even know how one would differentiate between any two hair metal bands anyway). Finally, I said, “Who fucking cares? Those bands are fucking lame.”
One of them snarled at me with a condescending “Oh yeah, well who do you like?”
“Led Zeppelin”
“Oh”
End of fucking argument.
2. I went into my bedroom to discover my younger brother had some friends over, and they were going through my record collection. Before I could tell them to get out, one of them caught his breath and said, awe dripping from his voice, “Whoah, your brother listens to Led Zeppelin?”
Because you’re going through some rough stuff personally (and I really hope all that works out well for you all), I will grudgingly concede that that clips looks OK and that Led Zep are a bit better than the average band. Just to make you feel better, of course.
I have been meaning to ask you this for so long: Have you seen “It might get loud”- the Jimmy Page, Jack White, Edge Rockumentary?
Lance and I have watched it twice- I, being a Jack White worshiper, and all. But god dammned if Jimmy Page didn’t just charm the pants off of me. Seriously, And when they go to his house and sit around in his guitar room- it was like guitar porn.
I warn you- you may as well start watching with your pants off, because they will come off one way or another during the movie. guy or girl- doesn’t matter.
I hope you have seen this movie, and if not, do it!
I’ve seen most of it, and keep getting interrupted every time I sit down to watch it in full.
Yes, Jimmy Page is the fuckin’ Man. So cool, and apparently a really humble and accessible guy in real life, which blows me away. I’d be running around, “Hey! Look at me! I’m Jimmy Fucking Page!”
I check your site every other day. I laugh till I cry at most of your lovely ramblings, whilst my hubby is watching tv. I forwarded him your last entry and we turned off the tv to talk.
We all have a wake up call and I am awed that you posted it here. Well done and my prayers are with your family.
I AM SO SEEING THIS 😀 Only comes out in one theater in Oregon, and it came out on September 13…MY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY 😀 No better way to celebrate than an announcement from the best English rock band in the world. 😀
I have begun celebrating on this day, and I will not be stopping until much, much later.
Go! Go! Go! Celebration is good for the soul!
I hope that you have many things to celebrate in your near future.
Fingers crossed. And toes. And a few internal organs. I need a Celebration Day of my own really soon. Thanks for the kind words.
That is just epic right there.
Led Zeppelin is the very definition of epic.
Two funny stories come to mind:

^^ … and then you woke up.

Gee thanks. They’re kind of ok, I guess.
This shit better be done world wide. How come I didn’t hear about it?
(and thanks for the kick in the arse. I hope things are on the way mending down your way)
Thanks, I hope so too.

Keep ranting, my friend.
Thank you, Tamara. Reading your comment was a rare ray of sunshine in a week of clouds and rain.

I was wondering why I hadn’t heard from you. Yeah, I’ve got options in the Phoenix area, but got my tickets as soon as I could. One. Night. Only.
Yeah, high school is being a pain in the ass now but I’ll still find some sort of time to read your random awesome articles 😀
Just hope that my dad’s willing to drive me out all the way to Beaverton to see it but for Led Zeppelin he should be 🙂
