Re: WHY WE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN



Led Zeppelin. The name means so many things to  me. It is an entity that is 
visceral and primitive
Led Zeppelin has weight  and mass while remaining mysterious and oblique and 
ethereal. 

It  is fulfilling as sleep and dirty as a broken bottle in the gutter. It is 
raunchy  and direct, sly and timeless.
The songs seems to be taken from the  Universal Ether…or as Robert Plant once 
said “ The Cosmic Energy … “  
These songs seem to have always existed somehow and somewhere and it  was the 
massed assemblage and innate talents of these 4 men to bring them down  from 
the ether for us all to experience.
The thing about the band is  they seemed to make it all seem so natural and 
casual.
It all was  presented in confidence and clarity while maintaining a certain  
mystique.
The sound was of a stuttering step of knowing and  communication for the 
world to acknowledge. An icon of the human condition of  wanting, traveling, 
power, reverence, glory and the seeking of  wisdom.
The clarity and mustiness of times and things past remembered  with revelry 
and celebration.
It is familiar and strange at the same  time. a central nervous system that 
flexes to life in spite of the time or the  location or circumstances.
Sweating and seeking something secret and  seething. Capturing plain truth 
and enraptured in myths.
An immersion and  diversion into perversion.
You can almost smell the burning elements  coming from the overlapping layers 
of instinct and musicianship. The ozone  residue after a storm.
The maneuverings and machinations of Love like  lava
Flowing together, leaping loads of life writhing down a volcano  from 
Valhalla.      
Sweating and seeking  something secret and seething.
Capturing plain truth and enraptured in  myth.
You can almost smell the burning elements coming from the  overlapping layers 
of instinct and musicianship.
Friendship, worship,  warship.                                                
          
The Demon dreaming and his weaving and   his semen  steaming.
Something is right about all they accomplished. An amalgam of  spirits set in 
dynamic azimuths and   interlocking  time.

Vandals, scandals and candles. The unique dedication and honor of a  dog 
smiling captured with the lively bounce of song.
Pagans  freewheeling across the lands with abandon. Balance.
Dragons and  lightening captured in a bottle sparking and leaping across the 
synapses to  recognition.
