1. Enid Blyton and Terry Pratchett! Also Nora Roberts.
2. I had a pretty perfect night in Feb,at a blues Fest in Bombay, where Keb Mo and the Kenny Wayne shepherd Band played 2 near perfect sets, and the food( and alcohol) were EXCELLENT!
3. The beginning of the tagged book is in the late 60s,that talks about the genesis of a lot of great bands, and I would love to be a sessions musician then!( I can't play anything at all IRL)😄

Taken from Wikipedia, this perfectly sums up this book for me. ... Reviewer Matt Slaybaugh of The Agit Reader criticized the book for its writing and italicized internal monologue sections, where Wall interpreted band member's thoughts by retelling a story in a second-person narrative, concluding "There may not be a better book about Led Zeppelin out there, but there‘s got to be a less irritating one."

Smrloomis 😂 Don‘t think I‘ll be reading that one. 5y

#BookMail Pt10 is the infamous Led Zeppelin biography that catalogues all their debauchery while on tour, including Jimmy Pages obsession with Aleister Crowley & his fondness for young ‘women‘ and also the legend of the drummer, a groupie and a fish. Don‘t ask. They burned bright for a decade before it all ended in tragedy & tears. #ImAGoldenGod!🌟

RvnclawWhovian My all time favorite rock band 🙌🏻 Can‘t wait to hear what you think of the book 5y
Lizpixie @WanderingBookaneer not yet! Though I do have two very beautiful editions of it! I was going to read Seven Husbands first which is also on my #MountTBRStacksOfDoom 5y
Lizpixie @RvnclawWhovian mine too, ever since sitting in my brothers caravan as a kid & listening to his records. I‘ve heard wild things about this book. 5y
WanderingBookaneer I look forward to reading what you think of that one. 5y

Epic rock and roll book that for once focuses on the music instead of the groupies and drugs. You'll learn there's more to Led Zeppelin than a quick rise to stardom, drug abuse, and the death of their drummer before it all ended.

Hats off to (Brad) Tolinski for sitting down to talk to one of the most significant guitarists/producers in the history of rock about how he actually made music. Led Zeppelin naturally looms large and the backbone of the book is provided by Page himself, but some of the most illuminating soundbites are provided by those who tend to get overlooked: Jonesy and Chris Dreja, for example. It's a comprehensive, engaging, and well-balanced read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

sarahnicoloff I need to pick this up. Love Led Zeppelin. 7y

Jimmy Page: "A solo is like a meditation on the song. You find a piece of filigree and then try to play something in total empathy with everything else that‘s going on. You can get quite spiritual about soloing. It‘s almost like channeling. It‘s not there one moment, but then all of a sudden it is. I‘m sure anyone who‘s creative has had that moment. That point where it just sparks."
