Most people remember where they were when Kennedy was killed. I remember where I was the first time I heard Stairway to Heaven. Good googa mooga, what a song.
Right now I'm listening to Lou Reed, 'Rock and Roll' from Rock n Roll Animal. Yeah it's corny, but the refrain, "Her life was saved by rock and roll." has always been right on point for me. Lord help me, I love this music, from Tull, to Lou Reed, to Ozzy to Bowie, to Billy Corgan and tons of stuff in between, I love rock.
I like to drive my own little Gen Xer nuts by cranking it up and yelling, "Come here and listen to some real music. You might learn something." Drives him crazy, but every once in a while I'll hear him listening to some of 'my' music. Makes me feel like friggin' Yoda, man. (wipes a tear away)
Gee, going by your screen name, I never would've guessed it.
Will wonders never cease?
I can't remember the exact 1st time I heard Stairway, But I clearly do remember when I was like 5-8 years old (Born 1970) I used to love the Immigrant Song, Stairway, Black Dog, Kashmir and Trampled Underfoot. I didn't know who Led Zeppelin was back then and I am not sure I even knew they were by the same group but I clearly do remember enjoying those songs at that age. (At the time my father worked far away so I would be in the car with my mom picking him up so I got to hear all these long songs). It wasn't until High school when I dated a girl who was into Zeppelin that I put the songs I used to like with the group
