The California Nebula...

Yea, but unfortunately it’s a blue state, not a red one like the nebula. ;-)

[Impy]

Red (commie) is the proper color for Cali.

That nebula may be morel livable than Cali in 10 years.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; I think I might be sinking.

[fhayek]

You see California, I see Fred Flintstone. It's a little like cosmic Highlights.

[TigersEye]

A 100 light year tall break? Surf’s up!

;’) As an album, that was their best, but of course, everyone sez that — Physical Graffiti is their quintessential album, it’s just a little too much due to four LP sides. :’o

[SunkenCiv]

;’) Yabba, Dabba, Dooooooo!

[SunkenCiv]

Gotta hang a lot more than ten for that kind of run...

[SunkenCiv]

“...made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs...”

[Catmom]

I think I see a black hole where San Francisco is.

[BlueDragon]

I had to divert the conversation, and post a link to that one track...

You knew I would, right?

;') As an album, that was their best, but of course, everyone sez that -

At the time, it was in something of a class by itself, though I can live without about half of the tracks (having heard them all waa-y too many times); Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog; and Rock & Roll. To some people that would be sacrilegious, I know...

Personally, I think my favorite from that band is

this one

from Houses of the Holy.

It’s not far enough out in space to merit the name.

[r_barton]

After all, in California we did elect Governor MoonBeam...4 TIMES!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Don’t use the media newspeak colors. Red is Communist Democrat.

[SunkenCiv]

My favorite Zep track is the Helmet cover of "Custard Pie" on the Encomium tribute album, although sometimes it's Memphis Minnie's recording of "When the Levee Breaks".

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

[Fledermaus]

It’s full of illegal aliens.
