Re: Some interesting Zep references



On a related note, a while back ('bout half a year or more) I asked
everyone what LZ references they had seen in movies or on TV, and started
to compile them.  Here's what I have.  These are movies unless it says
otherwise:

"Stairway denied!"

?Louie, Louie? for soundtrack.
_Fast Times At Ridgemont High_ - Kashmir plays in car, mention of first
side of LZ ?4? as the best make out music.
_The Client_ - The kid is a big LZ fan, lots of mentions: albums, group
history,T-shirt
_The Rock_ - Sean Connery?s character is mentioned as having met his
daughter?s mother after a LZ concert.
_Rock & Roll High School_ - name mentioned
_Dazed and Confused_ - John Bonham mentioned
TV show "Mysery Science Theater 3000 - Numerous, mentions John Bonham and
'Moby Dick' at one point.
TV show "Tiny Toons" - Buster plays guitar and disturbs a mean folk
singer, asks folky if he wants to hear Stairway.
TV show "Frasier" - Frasier?s dad drinks Ballantine Beer (same as Bonzo?s
