I guess then, we could call that a form of prostitution indeed. If the pope did it there would be trouble I'm sure.


You haven't answered my question about what specifically Led Zeppelin have done that is sinful, in your eyes. I have all their CDs, so I'll understand any reference you make. I don't see anything dangerous or Satanic in "Stairway to Heaven" or in anything else off Led Zep IV, which is the one and only point I can see where they drew upon some mystical imagery. Please, enlighten me. I would have said that Robert Plant was more about getting laid than anything else.


LOL....Yah. I heard things about Robert. John Bonham actually hit my husband in the face at the Rainbow. My husband was sitting at their table to try and get a tape to their manager and Bonham was hungry pacing back and forth waiting for his food. Basically the food came, he was in Bonhams chair and thought it was for him and took a bite and asked "who this roadie was?" That was it... blowout fracture and scratched cornea. Later he bought him a beer and apologized...(like a couple of months later).
Ultimately Bonham did die of an overdose. That and losing his little girl apparently through Robert Plant for quite a loop.

I guess, though, that famous people aren't supposed to be able to change or be forgiven cause they aren't human?? I agree they are responsible for their personna and how they affect kids. But they weren't as evil as you have them coming off and they were more about folklore from what I know.

SoSick, how old do you think Led Zeppelin was in there hey day? What's the difference? Most of their songs are love songs. There is no comparison with them and Spears or Madonna on any level and certainly not musically. What kind of influence do you suppose THEY have had on young girls???? I'm listening to Stairway to Heaven right now. One of the greats of all time....
