My Generation

[achille@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi again,
I know I said you wouldn't hear from me for a god long time after my
little rant the other day, but this is one of the other things that I
wanted to mention during that rant....but I forgot. So Im gonna say it
now.
As some of you know, I am only 17. And I managed to find Zep and
become a big fan. I do realise that most of my age-group are idiots
with the musical taste of a poorly trained chimp. Most people I know
dont know who Jimmy Page is, although he went up in popularity with
that awful Puff daddy thing. I do have a few intelligent friends who 
like
Zeppelin. We were going to go to the Page/Black Crowes gig, but, well,
you know what happened with that.
Just trying to help defend my musically retarded generation.
Thanks.
