Itβs Jimmy Pageβs birthday.
Letβs listen to a bit of βStairwayβ with him and watch him talk about it. π
Masked agents and Trump coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
One dead in Minneapolis
Gotta get down to it, masked agents are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
