The man who almost led Zeppelin*

How come no one told me about him?

 

When's the last time you listened to a whole album, front to back, over & over? 

 

 

 

 

* I just made that title up. Good huh?

Hmmm instead of Robert Plant?

 Apparently. According to {{blech}} Wikipedia, he declined Page's offer due to the latter's rumoured "heavy reputation as a Crowleyan black magician"! Later turned down Deep Purple due to contractual obligations, and toured with the Stones but missed playing at Altamont where the Hell's Angels famously went berserk and killed the hippie era.

 

There's also Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac in the mix, and I can totally hear both of them in his music, along with a lot of other stuff. 

 

I can't stop listening.

If I said the word album to my girls, they would look at me funny and tell me I am old.

Maybe I'll mention albums in today's visit. Good topic for dinner conversation.

We are old. Also, get off my lawn.

 

There was an art to the "musical narrative" that tied an album together, a constraint within which freedom could be stretched. Like so many other things modern mainstream music has nearly killed.

 

There, those are my contributions for dinner.

Or the token Gladys Kravits.  Every neighborhood, office, family has one.

That's the second time this thread (that I started) has compelled me to consult {{blech}} Wikipedia.

 

The things I do just to bring great music to the masses.

Ps I just told someone outside not to let their dog pee on my lawn :)
