Outstanding! And one I should have known. <hangs head in shame>

The only Zep-related WKRP trivia I can offer is the fact that the 
lead singer of
"Scum of the Earth" was played by Michael Des Barres, former husband 
of Pamela
Des Barres, aka Miss Pamela, who wrote a couple of tell-all books 
about her
groupie days, one of which was titled "I'm with the Band." A certain 
guitarist's
hotel room behavior was well chronicled in that one, as I recall.

Also, Michael Des Barres was the singer with Detective, an early 
signing to the
Swan Song label. He was later the touring vocalist with the Duran 
Duran side
project Power Station, replacing Robert Palmer, the original studio 
singer. Des
Barres and Power Station played the Philadelphia Live Aid stage a 
couple of
hours before a certain band's reunion...
