Re: An Awesome Day at School (Yes, there is Zep Content... in Fact, it Revolves around the Zep

Funny you should say that because oddly enough, growing up in the 70's 
with Zep in full flight, I was strangely enough odd man out throughout 
grade school and even in high school. Maybe it had something to do with 
demographics and such but I took alot of ribbing being a Zep fan from my 
early yute on.  Rolling Stones, Who, Dead, Doors and Elton John seemed 
to be perenial favorites of my so called peers.
Shit I think I was the only one in my high school that did NOT walk 
around with "Noone here gets out Alive" on top of the stack of books. I 
was busy scrawling "zoso" and "gabba gabba hey" all over the place while 
they walked around like zombies qouting " Father I want to Kill you , 
Mother I want to arrrgggkkk " and " What a long strange trip it's been", 
"Got two good eyes but still can't see Mannnnnnn" as if they were onto 
something special. Yeah, a big snowjob of someone trying to convince 
them that Morrison was America's poet Laureate and liking the Dead 
automatically made you cool. gag. Ever even smoke a joint pointdexter?!  
I was the "geek" and "nerd"  They all talked big but while they were 
home holding Mama's apron strings I was living my secret life of Walter 
Mitty going to Zeppelin concerts, Ramones, Rundgren freak shows, getting 
spat on in CBGB's , playing guitar, actually playing in front of 
people.... then come monday morning I was back to mild mannered punching 
bag who did not give a crap about baseball, football or basketball 
stats... yeah even there.. hockey WTF is hockey?  Ha, more fools them eh 
?  Thank God for an older brother and parents who implicitly trusted me 
and nurtured my lust for life with a reason.
