I actually like Chicago’s version of this better. But here is the original:
I cannot quite put into words the strange attraction to the music of Led Zeppelin that I have. But I really do have one. I would not call it an obsession; possibly just a strong liking of their music. Led Zeppelin to me, was in the 1970’s, what Jimi Hendrix was in the 1960’s. Brash, Pompous, limit pushing, loud, driving —- yes, all of that and then some. To me, listening to Led Zeppelin, especially Led Zeppelin II; was like having your brains fucked out by a Beautiful woman and actually having multiple orgasms. It is really fun, but by the end, you are about to pass out, or at the worst; go to sleep. It is that same euphoric sensation in Led Zeppelin, that has always drawn me to it.
Maybe it was John Bonham’s Drumming, Maybe it was Jimmy Page’s Guitar playing or plant’s vocals. Hell, I don’t know. I just know that when Zeppelin was in their prime, they sounded awesome. I will admit, I have heard bootlegs of the band, when they were possibly having a bad night, and quite frankly, even their most terrible recordings sounded halfway decent.
If anything, this is good palate cleanser from all of the stupidity of the last week; not to mention today. 😀
Enjoy….
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. “You’re a Conservative and YOU like Santana?!?!?” Of course. I grew up in a Mexican-American hybrid Assemblies of God Church in Southwest Detroit. The culture did rub off me, a little. Plus, I am a Guitar player. I did Carlo’s Playing; his politics, not so much. But I’ve always enjoyed this tune.

On April 20, 1999, two high school seniors filled with occultic hatred murdered 12 of their fellow students and a 47-year-old teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, before taking their own lives. The shooters also wounded another 20 students, some extremely seriously. At least one has never walked again and others have had long and difficult recoveries.
The Columbine murderers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, used shotguns, a rifle, a handgun, and pipe bombs in the attack. They laughed as they destroyed and mangled their victims. Witnesses reported that “they were just hooting and hollering, having the time of their lives.”
They had planned to kill hundreds, but their larger bombs did not explode. They rigged bombs out of propane tanks attached to gasoline cans and strung them with nails to enhance the shrapnel effect and placed them in the cafeteria, planning to detonate them when the room was packed with students and teachers at the height of the lunch period. They planned for the ensuing fireball to collapse the second floor onto the lunch room and thus add to the mayhem. They also rigged similar bombs and placed them in their cars and set them to explode 45 minutes after the initial blasts, intending to turn the cars into fireballs that would kill more students, plus paramedics, police, reporters, and others who were responding to the tragedy. By God’s grace, none of the propane bombs exploded.
At least 75 people have been killed on public school campuses since the Columbine shootings. Between 1992 and 2006 there were 330 murders committed by students on school property. The carnage was perpetrated by self-centered, hateful, vengeful, foul-mouthed students.
Early news reports stated that the Columbine murderers were members of a loose-knit group of young people who wore long trench coats, black clothing, and other “gothic” attire and delved into occultic and violent themes, but part of this turned out not to be true. The teens were wearing trench coats the day of the mass murder, but they were not members of the so-called Trench Coat Gang. Early reports also speculated that the boys lashed out at athletes and other popular teens because they had experienced constant bullying and social ostracism. In fact, both boys had a fairly wide circle of friends and were the bullies rather than the bullied, and they did not target athletes or any other particular group. They hated everybody! “Dylan laughed about picking on the new freshmen and [others]. Neither one complained about bullies picking on them–they boasted about doing it themselves” (Dave Cullen, Columbine, 2009, p. 258). Eric went through his junior yearbook and defaced the photos of the majority of his fellow students, labeling them “worthless,” writing that they would die, or making an X over their pictures (Columbine, p. 257).

There is no question, I am a fan of classic Christian Rock. Heck, I grew up on the stuff. One band that really stands out in my mind is WhiteCross. This tune here is from their first Album.
Every time I hear this tune. I am transported back to a much simpler time in my life.
This is originally from 1987; I could not find a video of the original song. Which sounded bad, because it was recorded with a drum machine.
Anyhow, This is WhiteCross with “Who will you follow?”
This video makes me feel so old.
