rumor has it Zeppelin to play bonnaroo this year....  i guess if you sell enough corndog pancakes at widespread panic shows, you could afford a $400 ticket.  otherwise bonnaroo is gonna be a bunch of suits this year.

I'm giving it some real thought actually.  I have a really good friend right there.    He's been trying to get me to go for years.    Zep might be the final straw if it actually happens.


Unless we can get Zep on the Crappitystock bill.  Then I'll be all set.

i went the one year... neil young, the dead, sonic youth, flaming lips, drive by truckers, tortoise, my morning jacket, etc etc etc... 

twas fun , but i doubt i'll ever go again.  too expensive, too many people.  not even zeppelin could sway me.


by the way, you figgered out who you may bring along to the crappitystock?

"Juicy Ass" by Home is track #3 in this week's Out of 5. It's not the most imaginative mix on the whole, though. But at least I got to work Home in.

other zeppelin rumors include a several night stand at MSG (ala cream a couple years back) and a secret show at toad's place in new haven.  i doubt either to be true though...

For next week, we're doing spy/superhero theme songs. I'm sending the unused Johnny Cash title track for "Thunderball," as heard here.

or better yet, check out where someone has re-edited the intro to feature the Cash tune:

I'll give Percy a ring.

one of my biggest gripes about zeppelin,   other than the stupid norse folklore and cheesy sexism is their blatent ripoff of the old blues guys.  i don't mind them doing the songs, but getting paid royalties 30-40 years later for songs that AREN'T THEIRS. a suitable compromise would have been to do the (trad. arr by page/plant)   instead of (page/plant).  just seems like pure theivery to me.  meanwhile the actual songwriters all died broke and lonely. 

examples:


"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"--Anne Bredon (the Joan Baez version was the
                         one this was based on)

"You Shook Me," "I Can't Quit You Baby," and "Whole Lotta Love"--Willie Dixon

"Dazed And Confused"--Jake Holmes, lyrics changed

"Black Mountain Side"--traditional, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn

"The Lemon Song"--Chester Burnett, Albert King, Robert Johnson ("squeeze my
                lemon" lyric)

"Traveling Riverside Blues"--Robert Johnson (lyrics only, the music is
                          totally different)

"Since I've Been Loving You"--brief lyrical nod to Moby Grape

"Gallows Pole"--traditional, often played by Leadbelly

"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper"--traditional, Bukka White (song entitled "Shake
                         'Em On Down")

"Black Dog"--vocal arrangement loosely based on Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well"

"When The Levee Breaks"--Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy

"Custard Pie"--some Bukka White material

"In My Time Of Dying"--traditional, Bob Dylan's version was adapted

"Boogie With Stu"--Richie Valens

"Nobody's Fault But Mine"--Blind Willie Johnson (lyrics)

"We're Gonna Groove"--B.B. King, J. Bethea

obviously there's a few exceptions to the "died broke and lonely" part...

but still.

Can't hurt to ask. Maybe they'd do it if we promised to keep it a secret.
