Today, it is very politically incorrect to show a man carrying a faggot.

There used to be a radio station in va that played an hour of Led Zep. at 10:00 pm. They called it “Led before bed”.

Ours called it, "Get The Led Out".

Probably one of those albums you would take to the proverbial “desert island.”

If I hadn't already heard each song about a thousand times already.

“we & the Brits, yet so different at the same time”

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, the British and Americans are diverse peoples separated by a common language.

I remember looking at the picture when I first bought the album and wondering, what’s holding the bundle on to his back? It doesn’t look like there is a strap around his body.... And why is there a knee protector on just one side? I guess that is explainable if he is on a roof....

Look at the raggedy edges of his work clothes. Hard but rewarding work. God bless him where he is.

[Page]... designed his own symbol[5] and has never publicly disclosed any reasoning behind it. It has been argued that his symbol appeared as early as 1557 to represent Saturn.

Sounds possible. He was born January 9 (1944). Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn, which covers the last week or so of December and the first three weeks or so of January.

A fifth, smaller symbol chosen by guest vocalist Sandy Denny represents her contribution to “The Battle of Evermore”

Such a great piece of music. This video shows the four symbols, but not Sandy Denny's:
