Re: LZ TSRTS virginity taken...

["Gerry" <evermore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I strong depression came over me reading this...Why are there no girls
around here who like Zeppelin like this?  I was talking to this one girl
about going to see The Black Crowes and mentioned that they should be good
coming off a tour with Jimmy Page, to which she looked puzzled and said
"who?".  I tried to explain...but the depth of her music knowledge didn't
even get back to the mid 80's.  She was a beautiful blonde, so I forgave
her, but in the back of my mind there was a sinking feeling.

I mean just once I want a girl to swoon when I play Tangerine on my guitar
not because its a kickass song, but also because that happens to be her
favorite Zeppelin song.
