"The Led whaat?"

This is neat. Here is a 1970 interview with John Bonham & Robert Plant. They discuss the "death of the personality cult" and the revolution in popular music that Zeppelin was a catalyst for. Now, lets move from revolution talk to evolution talk. Here is what prehistoric Wax Romeo looked like. Creepy,...
