I particularly enjoyed the line about how Plant wrote on Led Zeppelin II "about his wife, about his conflicted feelings for his sister-in-law, and about hobbits, sometimes all in the same song."

I knew Jimmy Page "borrowed" quite heavily from the blues, but I had no idea he considered anything he heard, no matter what style it was, as fair game. In unrelated news, I just discovered a great new podcast called The 500 Songs of Rock Music History hosted by Jimmy Page.

I loved Zeppelin's music in high school and college, and it's so refreshing to hear a measured, music-first take on them as (deeply, deeply flawed) human beings. Other biographers tend to treat them as idols or utter villains. If you haven't heard A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs, you should.
