[hometext] => A few random,rambling words that came to mind while trying to explain the appeal of the rock band Led Zeppelin.
[bodytext] => An aural assault. An entity that is visceral, jagged , diamond hard , palpable and primitive while soft as a whisper and gentle as down. They were inventing new forms and directions that set the template for generations of musicians to come. Creating legends while recreating and singing the old tales. They captured and enraptured us in gossamer echoes and devised new paradigms and solid life forms from molten sweat and intelligence. Led Zeppelin has mass while remaining mysterious and oblique and ethereal. It is fulfilling as deep sleep and dirty as a broken bottle in the gutter. It is raunchy and direct, sly and timeless,erotic and exotic...density and intensity. The songs seems to be taken from the Unknown (yet familiar) Universal Ether…or as Robert Plant once said “ The Cosmic Energy “ These songs seem to have always existed somehow and somewhere and it was the massed assemblage and innate talents of these 4 men to pluck them down from the essential ether,then present them to us in a new treasure box. The thing about the band is they seemed to make it all seem so natural and casually executed. Something is right about all they accomplished. It just had to be done. It all was presented in confidence and clarity while maintaining a certain mystique. The sound was of a stuttering step of knowing and communication for the world to acknowledge. An icon of the human condition of wanting, traveling,power,reverence,glory and the seeking of wisdom.. The clarity and mustiness of times and things past remembered with revelry and celebration. It is familiar and strange at the same time. a central nervous system that flexes to life in spite of the time or the location or circumstances. A leap across the synapses of the ancient mind’s eye to the present...like the laughter that burts out when you recognize something familiar or beautiful. The reverberations,maneuverings and machinations of Love like lava flowing together,leaping loads of life writhing down a volcano from Valhalla. Sweating and seeking something secret and seething. Capturing plain truth and enraptured in myth. You can almost smell the burning elements...the cosmic residue like spent oxygen transformin in to ozone after a thunderstorm.. coming from the overlapping layers of communication,instinct and musicianship. Friendship..worship on a warship . The Demon dreaming his thoughts weaving and steaming. An amalgam of spirits set in dynamic azimuths and interlocking time. The spectrum of colors that come to mind when hearing their music is the orange and green of spring ,the red of blood and lust,the white of truth. The sound and glory of World War 2 bombers diving towards the ground piloted by caped lycanthropes.. Vandals, scandals and candles. The unique dedication and honor of a dog smiling ,captured with the lively bounce of song.. Pagans freewheeling across the lands with abandon. Far away lands to explore . .Dragons .. Lightning captured in a bottle. Furious and glorious... Balance.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
