Bullshit.  A textbook example of the old apples/oranges comparison in the 
service of something I thought died a well-deserved death a couple years 
ago, political correctness.

Guitar & drum equipment, tablature, tunings, studio techniques, the 
condition of Robert's voice, etc. have something directly to do with Led 
Zeppelin's music and how it came to be.  What Robert looks like naked is 
his business, and has about as much to do with what LZ accomplished with 
their music as Phil Collins' hairline.

There's no denying that Led Zep's music is sexy, and that Robert and Jimmy 
were sex symbols, but I suspect that a lengthy thread on where to find a 
nude picture of Pamela Des Barres or Jimmy's current girlfriend, acompanied 
with commentary on breast size, etc., would draw some criticism from some 
females on the list.

BTW, Percy is 49.
