"Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move,
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove!"
HEART-PLUNGING GUITAR RIFF!
What is about Led Zeppelin that has managed to weave it's way through the generations in such vivid clarity?
I threw-eth my ipod on shuffle and all of a sudden, here comes "Black Dog" and it's heart-plunging guitar riffs and vocals. My undying love for the 60's and early 70's is incredibly emphasized when it comes to Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and Led Zeppelin. They have that "umph", that defines rock n' roll. If you listen to a band/artist and they cloud your rationality and you have a strong urge to do drugs or have sex; they have therefore managed to surpass all of your repressed urges and personal ethics and you have therefore entered the realm of rock n' roll.
Rock n' Roll is the soul's fountain-of-youth.
To which i end this with the ultimate rock n' roll question: Is it better to burn out or fade away?
