Most of the mostess



It really doesn't matter how much we know about Led Zeppelin from any news
media.
It doesn't matter who's got the inside track on the best hoarded stuff.
None of this makes any of us participating in any of these cyberspace
communities any hipper, cooler, better, worse or anything than anyone else.
Knowing everything there is to know about Led Zeppelin won't get you into
Heaven if there is one.
I'm thinking, knowledge is not to be confused with wisdom.


Does choosing what game to play defines us as people? More likely.
So I'm seeing so many of us hide inside of who we really might be if we
faced ourselves and instead of facing ourselves many just play the Led
Zeppelin game.
I'd say there's a number people who know far more "Facts" about Led
Zeppelin than they know about themselves. After a while does it ring -
Hollow, hollow, hollow?
Whenever you get around to seeing that, then look in the mirror and figure
out who you see.

It's probably time to get back on the Led Zeppelin game for those who are
just having fun and can still see themselves straight forwardly when they
look in the mirror. For the rest of you, try being alone with your self for
fifteen minutes and experience who you are.
What makes a genuine legend a legend? Ambiguity and mystery.
Knowing everything leaves nothing to discover and well do you get the idea?
Remember after all, Led Zeppelin was a 20th century electronically powered
rock and roll band of traveling musicians. Some of their listeners imagined
them to be more to account for their personal reactions to the band's
intensely emotive music. This band happened onto some sound signatures that
triggered powerful emotional and physical reactions from many listeners in
their audiences. Jimmy Page sculpted a sound that called out to the very
core of his own being and discovered that he'd tapped into the self-same
open sesame for tens of thousands of others. However getting stuck in a
revolving door is not the same as accessing a gateway to whatever other
dimensions of existence that music might suggest. I would have surmised
that getting on with exploring those further adventures in one's own life
might be a more fruitful outcome. This is as opposed to just collecting
more and more Led Zeppelin. Does that end up ultimately limiting one to
deny developing one's own self as a human being in one's own right?
Each of us has to answer that question for ourselves.
As long as one keeps a balanced perspective on the importance of being a
Led Zeppelin music collector how much effort and time one spends on the
activity
is not harmful. It's when one's entire life becomes dedicated to a
situation that does not profit one in any way that the question of whether
or not one is wasting one's own precious life comes into play.
Wet blanket due to sour grapes? No, by no means.
I estimated it was time to interject just a little bit of a reality check
for those who might be losing themselves, that's all.
The world moves on, whether we do or not.
Happee Zepping!!
