Thats the main reason I don't like this song as much as other early Zep
tunes. For me, an admitted blues freak, the idea of mixing pop and blues is
an abomination. I see alot of it on the Chess recordings of the 50's and
60's, and it makes me want to puke.

Actually, most people on this list don't hold that opinion. If they did
they would most likely be unmercifully flamed :)

Actually, IMHO Zep persued blues to the ends of the Earth. And then, if it
still eluded them they tracked it down some more. And if it still kept away
from them they all got big guns and shot it down and raped its dead carcass.
I bet Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters etc would disagree that Zep
"never struck in the same place twice".
