Becoming Led Zeppelin

Now on Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDKC77QS8WM

I was there, which seems kind of weird sixty years on. Because many fans were not.

Canvass youngsters and ask them if they're familiar with the Yardbirds. They probably don't even know "For Your Love." But Led Zeppelin? Led Zeppelin is FOREVER! Only rivaled in longevity by the Beatles. The Doors renaissance was unexpected, yet I don't hear any kids talking about the band today. But Led Zeppelin?

Actually, it's kind of funny. It's the harder stuff that the kids cotton to. They love Black Sabbath too, the Ozzy years, "Paranoid." It's the raw power.

And most have no idea who Iggy Pop still is, never mind was.

So what we've got here is history, context, which is not what I expected.

The scene is set. We see footage of Lonnie Donegan. Jimmy being inspired by Rod Wyatt. WHO? We've all got our influences, not only household names, but the forgotten kid from the neighborhood who got us started and then dropped out, even though we ultimately went deeper and deeper.

So comparing this movie to the legend...

It was definitely Jimmy's band. We hear about Robert Plant's resentment, he and Bonzo being treated not quite as second-class citizens, but less than...

You see Page had a vision. And he executed on it. And it was all a result of history, experience. Not only hours practicing, but actually playing. He did all those studio gigs, he talks about recording Muzak. But after being thrilled to be the youngest member of the faceless studio tribe, Jimmy wanted more.

So Jeff Beck asked him to join the Yardbirds. And then Jeff quit shortly thereafter and Jimmy became the lead guitarist. And he was taking the band into proto Led Zeppelin territory, but few in England cared and America was a slog and then the rest of the Yardbirds told him it was over.

But Jimmy was lucky, he had Peter Grant. Who believed in him, who enabled him. Every great act needs a manager to open doors, smooth the journey, argue for the performer(s). Because chances are if you're a great performer, you're a lousy business person.

Don't compare today with yesterday. First and foremost, today's acts are focused on money. That's the number one complaint, THEY CAN'T GET PAID! Spotify is the devil. As if the company were stealing like the labels of yore. And then you see how much money Led Zeppelin was actually making... Even in adjusted dollars, they're not even in the same league as the bankers, never mind the techies.

But women called into radio stations to tell Robert he was a fox. Money goes a long way. As does fame. But when you're a musician...music hits people in a unique way, that supersedes cash and even looks. People just want to get CLOSER! Which is why people are watching this documentary to begin with.

I was invited to a screening back in January, I could explain why I didn't go, but I didn't. But the film is better on Netflix. Because of the subtitles. Turn them on. It's not that you can't understand what everybody is saying, rather the subtitles make the lyrics come ALIVE! Led Zeppelin was so much about the sound, and you know the lyrics, but when they're in front of your face as the music is playing...there's a whole 'nother level of meaning and intimacy.

Now reviews were not universally positive. Then again, most reviewers are not Led Zeppelin fans. They're intellectuals, they observe from a distance, they don't want to be all in and run on emotion, which is what it takes to be a Led Zeppelin fan. It's how the music makes you feel, first and foremost.

And as a movie... There are full songs included. Which sometimes undercut the momentum of the film, but will be studied, be interesting on further viewing. To see how Jimmy played that Telecaster...

Jimmy's famous for playing a Les Paul. But this Telecaster that Jeff Beck gave him, that he painted in a psychedelic fashion, he wrung all of those sounds from this guitar on the first album. And to watch him do it...

And I've seen Jimmy play with the bow, but not from this close, which makes it less of a novelty and more of a sound.

John Paul Jones gets his time, but they don't focus on the keyboard textures he added.

Robert Plant... He has a sense of humor about himself, and you get more of a feeling about who he was and what he was feeling before he was plucked from obscurity by Jimmy and Peter Grant.

As for Bonzo... They've got an unheard interview, which civilizes the man. All the antics he was ultimately known for are absent. But the funny thing is they had to pay him forty pounds a week to quit Tim Rose. You see his wife Pat needed him to get paid, he answered to her.

And John Paul Jones's wife nudged him to call Jimmy to join his new band.

And somehow during all this Plant impregnates his girlfriend and gets married and you're watching thinking, THEY WERE SO YOUNG!

As for all the Aleister Crowley stuff, the darkness of Jimmy Page, that's absent here. And this is before the dragon outfits, he's wearing jeans on stage, and they're not always faded.

And at this point people are aware that Jimmy is soft-spoken, it's not a revelation, but his intellect, his ability to convey what he was thinking and what he did...that's the essence of the movie.

He wanted to push the envelope, go where no one had gone before, take blues and rock and psychedelia one step further and...THE CRITICS HATED IT! Legendarily hated it!

Now this was the second or third wave, depending on how you count it. The first wave was the Beatles and the rest of the British Invasion. Then came FM rock, with Big Brother and Cream and Hendrix and...Led Zeppelin were one step beyond that. When Led Zeppelin truly broke there was FM radio in nearly every city. Album rock had won.

Everybody hates an innovator, until the innovation breaks through.

And it's always the public that gets on board first. Spreads the word. Jimmy insisted that there be no singles pulled from the first album, they caused tension for the Yardbirds. But as Zeppelin were touring to full houses as 1969 unfurled, they asked themselves, HOW DOES EVERYBODY KNOW?

One thing is for sure, Led Zeppelin wanted to blow people away on stage. And you hear about a great stage show today, but it's not the same thing, because you can see a show online, get a feel for it, whereas you used to have to actually go to the venue and if you saw something amazing, not only were you positively flabbergasted, but you lived off the high for days and told all your friends about it and dragged them to see the band the next time around.

These were veterans. They'd paid their dues. And if you insist on doing it your way, you must blow people's minds. I can't think of the last time a band's live performance blew my mind, but I can tell you about seeing Rod Stewart with the Faces in the spring of '71 and so many more. Some might be caricatures of themselves today, but back in the day...

And no executive could tell Jimmy what to do. He insisted on that. The band made the first album on their own money and Peter Grant ran interference with Atlantic. And that's very different from today, where the suits all have an opinion, make you employ a cowriter, insist on umpteen remixes.

Then again, the days of the musical group are nearly history. Because you just can't make enough MONEY! People don't want to suffer that much. They want to be solo artists. As for the joy of success expressed by Plant... Today everybody's so busy complaining they're getting screwed and not as successful as they should be that it taints the entire enterprise.

Then again, music isn't everything today. These guys heard the sound and had no choice. There were breakthroughs on recordings constantly. Hell, "Led Zeppelin II" eclipsed "Abbey Road" and "Let It Bleed" at the top of the chart. Can you imagine three albums of that quality being released today?

Now Robert Plant woke up one day and decided to come down off his throne and make it solely about the music, and had success with Alison Krauss.

Jimmy could never quite find his niche, the magic once again. There were a couple of numbers with Paul Rodgers and the Firm. Page and Plant illustrated the necessity of having John Paul Jones in the mix, never mind the driving power of John Bonham.

And sans Jimmy and Robert, John Paul Jones is a journeyman.

But once upon a time...

To go from nowhere to everywhere. Not based on hype, but purely on the music.

And Jimmy continued to innovate. "Led Zeppelin III" was a left turn that took decades for people to appreciate. And "Physical Graffiti" doubled-down on the Zeppelin sound like there were no other acts in the universe.

So do you need to watch "Becoming Led Zeppelin"?

Don't even bother if you're not a fan of the band. There's an early gig showing people putting their fingers in their ears, and so many feel this way.

But if you're part of the cult, or a developing musician, it's a must-see.

This is not the usual rock doc. Hagiography akin to "Behind the Music." This is just the story, told in a straightforward fashion. It all happened, they don't need to embellish it.

But how did it happen? What were the influences? How did it all come together?

That's what you've got here, up through the release of "Led Zeppelin II."

The band was ramblin' on, getting a whole lotta love, creating music that we will never hear the likes of again.

This movie brings it all home.

THANK YOU!

Original Sin

"Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again": https://shorturl.at/ICCaY

This is a riveting read.

But I didn't learn much. Regarding the facts. But aging and personalities?

Maybe it's my personality, always looking for the negative in myself. Seeing where I falter. This makes me strive to be better, but whatever I do it will never satisfy my mother. At least she's dead, which is a big psychological relief.

Everybody dies. But what is the attrition beforehand?

I mean you can get killed in a car accident. Pow! Wham! But assuming you live a long life and die of natural causes, or some kind of disease or cancer in your eighties and nineties, what are the odds you're going to have all your marbles?

Not high.

Everybody fades. Sure, occasionally you find someone nearing a hundred who retains all their faculties, but...

They move slower.

They talk slower, and probably softer.

And their voice changes and...

When is this going to happen to me?

That's what I took most from this book. Otherwise, I was stunned how closely I follow the news. There was very little I didn't know. Sure, there was this conversation and that, but almost all of this was published in the ensuing years leading up to Biden removing himself from the race. But to see it all in one place...

Sure, you've seen the headlines, you know the essence of the book.

However, you really don't know how cloistered Biden was, how little access anybody but his insider group had to him, and that was only a handful of people. Cabinet members? They barely saw him. There was a cabal running the country. And they massaged the info so as to not only keep Biden happy, but sometimes out of the loop.

The other big takeaway for me was what wimps the elected officials were. I can see why Trump is appealing. And Bernie too. They're not playing the game. And when you don't, they don't like it. They made sure Bernie didn't win the nomination and they made sure no one primaried Biden in the run-up to the 2024 election. It was all about knowing your place, tippy-toeing around people who might get offended.

We see this not only in politics, but in business too. Unless the CEO commits truly egregious behavior, they endorse him. After all, he probably installed them on the board to begin with.

And the rest of us sit at home and ask how this could have happened.

Well, what do you have at risk? No one in America wants to risk their job, their status and their income. That's why we revered the rock stars of yore and the techies after them. They weren't playing by the traditional rules. Sure, Americans admire money, but even more they cotton to personality. And it's always lone riders, outsiders. And those playing the game hate them.

As far as our country?

If a fading man can be in charge, even though the hoi polloi can admit what he and his handlers cannot, how in the hell can we move forward and accomplish anything?

Trump is hell-bent on destruction.

Did you see what I did there? I put my livelihood at risk. I'll get e-mail castigating me for inserting a jab at Trump. They want to keep me in line. Some will unsubscribe. Others will continue to work the refs, try to make me afraid.

Are you afraid?

Seemingly everybody in America is. They'll bloviate about this or that, but when they have anything at risk, they shut up.

That's why we'll never see anybody with any money stand up to Trump. Even the law firms caved. No, only those without portfolio seem to be able to speak truth to power.

I don't know what happens with the Democrats going forward. Not only did Biden single-handedly put Trump back in office, the party lost touch with the public. Everybody in the party was afraid to offend anyone. Therefore we got pronouns, an insistence that trans women should be able to play in all women's sports... And if you crossed the line, there was an army of people to shut you down. George Carlin would be laughing. Seven dirty words? There are a slew of words you can't use anymore because they're going to offend someone. Where is the line? Well, the funny thing is both parties think it doesn't exist. On the right they believe in absolute free speech, which the Constitution never guaranteed, never mind Musk blocking those on X who take a shot at him. On the left you need a cheat sheet to know how to behave, what to say, knowing that you're going to be trashed if you get the tiniest thing wrong.

So most people tune out of politics. Believing they're powerless. Hell, the stockholders voted against Zaslav's exorbitant pay, but it made no difference, the board didn't and won't cut it.

The aforementioned Carlin said your vote doesn't make a difference, because the owners of this country will never let you have control.

And I don't wholly agree with George, but the elected officials are beholden to the money and...

The Democrats were supposed to be different. The Republicans were the party of let me keep mine and you're on your own, stand on your own two feet. The Democrats were supposed to be the big compassionate tent. But they ended up self-dealing and losing touch with the public at large. What's that old saying, sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me? But in the Democratic party everybody's moaning and crying that someone said something negative. Everybody in this book was afraid of Biden, never mind attacking his wife who was delusionally protecting him.

So do I advise you read this book?

What you've got to know is most people don't read ANY books. And most people are not comprehensive in their reading anyway. Both the Democrats and the Republicans have their preferred news outlets, cable channels, blogs, they don't really want to know that which might upset them or undercut their beliefs.

And for that reason alone "Original Sin" should be read.

Are you aware of the Ukraine drone attack on Russian sites/planes? Maybe the headlines, but if you dig just a bit deeper, it turns out the drones themselves were extremely inexpensive, but the science, the technology behind them? That's what America used to specialize in, and by getting rid of scientific research the whole country is now at risk.

Hate the libs all you want. Decry delusional MAGA-ites.

But you're so busy playing the game that you're losing the plot.

"Original Sin" will tell you how the game is really played. While those involved ignored the plot.

It's downright scary.

Musk Barks Back

Who has more power, a billionaire businessman who earned his money through hard work, insight and guile who has 220.1 million followers on the social media site he owns, or a grifter who inherited his money, has taken companies bankrupt numerous times, has a rinky-dink social network and has turned the White House into a cash machine?

In other words, who is more powerful, the MAGA-ites or the tech bros?

The MAGA people hate the libs. But this battle has nothing to do with the libs. So do they defend the Donald or go with Elon? You don't have to dig too deep to discover that the Big Beautiful Bill will disproportionately benefit the wealthy and increase the deficit and...most people are against those, they're easy concepts to understand, so they side with Elon here.

I heard an interesting analysis on some news station over the weekend. It posited that the Republicans in Congress are not as stupid as we think, rather they're AFRAID! Just like the average American, their number one priority is keeping their job, and if they speak up against Trump they'll risk being excoriated by the man and lose his endorsement and maybe even be primaried. But if there's a leader with no skin in the traditional game...

Musk thought he was winning by being a part of the government. Turns out he had much more power OUTSIDE of D.C. The man is so damn rich that he believes he can defeat the government at every turn. And until DOGE he was doing a good job of it. Forget just blatantly ignoring the long arm of the law, rule against him and he'll move corporate headquarters to Texas, Delaware be damned.

Trump ignoring the courts and the administrative state? Musk has been doing this for years, it's just that most people weren't paying attention. If it doesn't affect you personally, most people in America just don't care. But taxes and benefits? Those they understand.

Now for all the people who haven't gotten rid of their Teslas...

They want to believe in them. They believed in them so much that they bought them to begin with. Can they pivot back to Muskville?

For all of today's cancel culture, America loves a comeback story. Many would forgive Musk if he woke up and admitted his mistakes, which he seems to be doing here.

And if Trump thought he made news...

Musk OWNS the news!

First and foremost because news now lives on social media as opposed to mainstream media, nevertheless traditional media loves covering the Musk story. It's an American story. Immigrant comes to this country and not only makes bank, but revolutionizes multiple industries along the way.

Furthermore, unlike Zuckerberg, never mind Cook, Nadella and Pichai, Musk is not media-controlled to the max. He says what he wants when he wants. Just like Trump. But try finding someone who thinks Trump is smarter than Musk. A lot of Trump's supporters just like his positions, they overlook his lies and lack of intelligence. The entire economic world has railed against the tariffs, saying they make no sense, but Trump soldiers on, flip-flopping along the way.

Now Tesla sales have declined worldwide. But not only is Musk's fortune tied to the company, the entire world has pivoted to electric cars. Trump wants to bring us back, Musk wants to bring us forward, into the future.

So...

Musk is providing cover for Republican congresspeople to go against Trump, and Mike Johnson is way out of his league here.

Meanwhile, even more than McDonald's, the general public is LOVIN' IT!

This is better than the Kendrick Lamar/Drake rap battle, this is real life, with real consequences. And Musk isn't going to back down. Because he's not a politician and if he were able to consider all factors and then make a decision he wouldn't have impulsively purchased Twitter to begin with!

Musk is a hothead, a live wire. And not traditionally a flip-flopper. I don't want to lionize the man, but up until he got deeply involved in politics he was considered to be the new Steve Jobs. And Jobs was hated and exiled into the wilderness before he returned to Apple a changed man and triumphed. Jobs learned how to get along. Has Musk learned lessons from his personal disaster of the last few months?

Musk thought he knew everything because he was rich. And he's not the only one. But unlike most wealthy people he continues to go all-in, he'll risk everything for his vision. And people cotton to someone like that, they believe in someone like that, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO!

People want heroes. And Trump never really fit that description. Musk? For a while there he was #1. Can he recapture the magic?

One thing is for sure, he feels burned by Trump and the system. He doesn't even smile when he blows back. He nearly sneers. He feels like he was taken.

So...

This is not an endorsement of Musk, but an analysis. Who is more powerful, the President or Elon Musk? Who has more sway over the public? Who controls hearts and minds? Who do people want to believe in?

Never mind Musk being 53 and Trump turning 79 in a matter of days. Musk is digitally native, Trump hasn't even conquered the English language, never mind tech. Trump is all about smoke and mirrors, with Musk what you see is what you get, and in a world where all warts are revealed, Musk is the modern one.

And Musk doesn't need a plane from Qatar. He's so damn rich he doesn't need more money. Meanwhile, he keeps making money for others. Those who invested in X didn't get their lunch eaten, they got paid back in spades when X was merged with xAI.

We've been waiting for a reckoning. A moment of truth. Someone to stand up to the insanity. We can all see it, but the Democrats say they're powerless and anybody with a buck is afraid to put it at risk. Law firms and media have fallen in line, and the chilling effect is monstrous.

But you can't keep Elon Musk in line.

Just like you couldn't keep John Lennon in line.

Yes, Elon Musk is more akin to a legendary rock star than anybody in the Spotify Top 50, because he did the one thing that they won't, HE SPOKE TRUTH TO POWER!

Musk didn't put his finger to the wind, didn't commission a poll, didn't get so hung up in the potential negatives that he refused to act. No, he moves fast and breaks things, in the classic tech style.

I thought Trump would be defeated by an Arab Spring moment. Someone sans portfolio screwed by his policies who just can't take it anymore. I didn't foresee a billionaire barking back.

But that's just what Musk has done.

And so far Trump and his cronies don't know how to handle it, they're not even sure what they're up against. They keep accommodating Musk, hoping he'll issue a mea culpa and rejoin the fold. Instead, Elon has doubled-down, he keeps publicly criticizing Trump policy.

And what is Trump going to do? Musk is bigger than he is. Everything comes down to money, and Musk has more, MUCH more.

And that money can sway elections. Not for unelectable candidates, but when the battle is close.

This is just the beginning. The Big Beautiful Bill won't pass intact, no way, it would be career suicide for those in Congress. They know it's flawed, yet they've been afraid to go against Trump, but Musk is now giving them cover to defect.

This is just the beginning.

Watch this space.

The Record Plant Book

"Buzz Me In: Inside Record Plant Studios": https://shorturl.at/CkwqG

Just when you think every story's been told...

I couldn't put this book down. I started it yesterday and finished it today. And I'm a slow reader. I want to devour every word. I'm memorizing without even realizing it. Because that's just how much I care.

The same way I read every scrap of music business news...before there became too much and the stars were cut down to our size, no matter what the press would want us to believe. The starmaking machinery is not turning out a new Joni Mitchel, no one is close. And we never did get a new Beatles, forget a new Dylan. And we might soon be saying we never got a new Springsteen...

Who recorded at the Record Plant.

It's not like the history of the various Record Plant studios is unknown. And if you were a newshound back then, you read Lucian K. Truscott IV's "New Times" story about Gary Kellgren and the studios...

"New Times." It was the best news magazine of that era. Did you read the exposé of Gregg Allman's drug bust and trial?

Probably not.

And you probably aren't even aware of the eighties' best magazine, "Manhattan, Inc.," Clay Felker's tour-de-force.

Then again that's when writers could still compete with rock stars. When we had an entirely new generation of scribes. Hunter Thompson, Tom Robbins and Tom McGuane.

And there was a clear dividing line between the stars and us. We all wanted access. To be inside the room where it happens, as "Hamilton" delineates.

And boy did it happen. There are pictures of albums recorded at the various Record Plants and the only one I didn't recognize, didn't know by heart from buying it or seeing it in the bins, was one by the Attitudes. Then again, this supergroup comprised of Danny Kortchmar, Jim Keltner, the then-unknown David Foster and bassist Paull Stallworth's two albums only came out in Japan. That's what Wikipedia tells me, but it's not always right, nor are the timeline and some of the facts in this book, but the mistakes are minor. And it was a long, long time ago (and "American Pie" was recorded at Record Plant N.Y.)

So you've got the stories of the engineer Gary Kellgren, who had the creative vision, Chris Stone who had the business chops, and a Revlon heiress who invested the initial capital? I didn't know that.

And if you're a student of the game, you know the outlines of the stories, but this book puts you directly in front of the console. Hell, I know a lot of these people and I still learned a bunch of stuff. I spoke at length with Robert Margouleff for an aborted podcast, but still I learned more about Stevie Wonder and TONTO and Malcolm Cecil and the music they made.

What you've got here is a musical engineering school, where everybody was taught a little, and then thrown into the deep end. Roy Cicala would start the session and then disappear without notice, that's how Jimmy Iovine became the engineer for "Born to Run."

Jack Douglas? Thom Panunzio? They worked their way up the food chain. Not that all of them can still work today, not all of them are even alive.

It was a golden era. And that's what all the wankers who say it's no different today than it ever was have wrong. You see they were inventing it as they went along. Kind of like the internet, before Facebook, Apple, Google and Microsoft became established enemies.

Studios were ratholes. But there were technological breakthroughs. The Scully 12 track, which seems to now be completely forgotten. Forget SSL, these studios didn't even have NEVEs! API was the breakthrough, and by the eighties most front liners didn't want to work on that board, even though it's come back into vogue, a little bit.

Man, I know Bob Ezrin well, but they tell stories of Bob in his heyday... I knew he taped Peter Gabriel to the wall in Toronto, but that was a regular feature of Ezrin's sessions, taping people to chairs, all kinds of nonsense/shenanigans. And when Bob works with KISS he says his goal is to entertain THEM, to keep them energized.

Sure, there are some production tips. But it's more of a dive into a lost era. Dead Sea Scrolls. There was so much money raining down that you could pad expenses... Forget billing the label for studio time, they billed the companies for drugs and equipment broken by the acts. There was so much MONEY!

And the goal of the Record Plant was to keep you coming back, assuming they didn't get you to lease a studio for years, like they did with Stevie Wonder.

And it was a floating party. And you'd occasionally see these people out and about. In the Rainbow parking lot, next door in the Roxy... But you could never ever enter the circle. The days of expensive privates had not arrived. Rock stars were gods, and everybody wanted to touch them, gain access.

Now those who haven't died have lost some of their charisma, but the music they made, it's set in amber, it's for all time. There are even stories of how they came up with some of these legendary tunes, often only in a matter of minutes.

And how some acts couldn't let go, they wanted to record and remix forever.

And there's a more accurate depiction of Phil Spector than I've seen anywhere else. When he fires a gun right next to John Lennon. When he was constantly drunk. When he held tapes hostage.

These are the stories behind the records. The people who made them and how they made them. And I think young people don't give a sh*t. They don't care about this history. I grew up and TV was de rigueur. But for my mother, it was a breakthrough! Ditto on my generation and the internet.

As for the acts, some will be rediscovered, many have never left the playing field...you can hear their records in regular rotation on ClassicVinyl and DeepTracks.

This particular book has not been written before. We've got books listing all the sessions, but exactly what went down inside the buildings...some of us care, and if you do...

The book made me feel good, it made me feel like my life was worth living, that my choices were good.

And it's hard these days. When everything is topsy-turvy. If you want to know which way the wind blows, you don't listen to a record. We had the Drake/Kendrick cartoon rap battle... It's entertainment. Never mind the acts making musical pabulum believing this is what the public wants. The acts back then didn't care a whit what the public wanted, they needed to put down what THEY wanted.

Today you can cut at home on your laptop on almost an infinite number of tracks. Time is not money. But it used to be. And it was spent.

To go into the studio back in the day... There was a magic, your skin tingled...

And that feeling is captured in this book.
