At the time I wore my shirt to a revival in Little Rock they thought that if you played Stairway to Heaven backwards it was some sort of Satanic Message.
Oh yeah..i dealt with that crap too..
My local area once actually held the title of having the most churches per square mile of any town in the US..per Guiness Book of World records..
unofficial of course..per how that Guiness Book thing collects information...
But about 90% of the churches..some in buildings as small as homes...
are GOOD 'OLE Southern Baptist..hell..fire and brimstone ..folks...
Well .. my birthday is 6660..and all i had to do..
At the local grocery store..is present..my ID..to buy some beer...and the cashier..would get the fear of..'SOMETHING'..IN THEIR eyes...
There is no question in my mind..that if this had been a more 'backwards' time than it already is for basic human animal common sense..
I would have been crucified..stoned..or oh my 'GOD' no telling what..
For simply being born on a day with three sixes..if ya use..the last two digits..of the year..only....
with the day and month..digits...
And on top of that ..the attending physician induced labor two weeks early..so he could go on vacation...
"Dam devil worshipper doctor" (sarcasm implied)
OH but what i really wanted to say..IS
Led Zeppelin is one of my all time favorite bands...
I still wear Led Zeppelin shirts..around the town that is much bigger..and diluted a little..with repressed ideology...
But still i can sense..that SOME folks..
are A 'LITTLE' worried...
that OH MY GOD HE'S GOING TO HELL..THAT DAMNED LED ZEPPELIN..WORSHIPPER...:)
OH and HERE IS my favorite song by Led Zeppelin..just had to share..

and currently i have a special interest..that Jesus may have been more of a Buddhist Monk than any other type of religious figure..in the day he actually existed..
And an intriguing theory here..too.. by the way..presented by the BBC and one of the top religious scholars..that the real historical Jesus might have survived crucifixion .. and moved on to Kashmir.. living the rest of his days there....
And this theory is not new...
There is no doubt in my mind that Led Zeppelin may have been aware of it at the time the song Kashmir came out...
And used the medium of the song as a little jab of truth..against..the repressed folks that were calling them devil worshippers..and all of that..
