In honor or our recent house guests, who were lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin perform live in concert as the opening act for Iron Butterfly at Fillmore East, New York in '69 where by all accounts Zeppelin badly upstaged their headliner, may I present my personal favorite Zeppelin track* from a much later album:

Kashmir

Rock on, Richard.

*Disclaimer: my estranged brother was always the family Led Head. But he's not here and I am, so we'll all just have to listen to what I like.

You might think that I'd select U2's hit "One" to be among my one word wonders, but that's not my favorite one-word titled U2 song. This is:

Lemon

(Full disclaimer: I'm not particularly a fan of U2. I blame that fact mostly on The Joshua Tree, which just could not be escaped in the late '80s. I'm wired in such a way that if something is really, really popular, I knee-jerk hate it. Sometimes I can eventually overcome that impulse, but with U2, especially after the string of uninterrupted market dominance running The Joshua Tree - Rattle and Hum - Achtung Baby - Zooropa - Pop, not so much. Even today, Bono still irritates me. I think the reason that "Lemon" is my personal favorite of their songs is mostly because of the word itself in the sense of "something that is unsatisfactory or defective." My jam is irony.)

On the bright side, they refuse to let you in an active war zone now. (Unfortunately, it's all war zones.)

Instead of doing war crimes for Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam may war crime me. Yay.

For the record, he's *not* talking about committing war crimes here.

God has that lesson been reinforced a lot lately. The question is what do we do know? Anyway sorry for getting so doom and gloom on your April fools post.

Naw, it's cool to vent. I did start it, after all. It *has* been so doom and gloom lately. Personally, I'm coping with alcohol and escapist anti-establishment video games, but I still rant a lot in online meetings and carpools and restaurants and.... Maybe I should up the alcohol intake.

Tiffany Posted Apr. 4, 2025 at 09:51:57 AM
I won't blame anyone for taking vices during this time. But seriously dude take care of yourself.

Thank you. I went from no alcohol intake to 1 ounce of Kahlua a night (in a glass of skim milk), so I don't think I'm quite ready for the drunk tank, but we're still in the first 100 days, so we'll see how it goes.

And tonight, after my father, who is scheduled for a surgery that may well be pointless, jerked my chain by going out of his way to tell me how illogical all *Democrats* are, I'm now having a Vodka Cranberry. So maybe I do have a problem, but I don't think it's the drinking. Yet.

Just in case you had the crazy idea that you could minimize your chances of being killed by a shark by staying away from the water....

And don't even get me started on what happens if you try to avoid hamburgers.

Loser

When this song was first gaining widespread fame in late 1993, I was urged by my freshman college roommate to call in and request it from local radio. My memory was that I called 99X, because that was the Atlanta station that played this kind of music (as opposed to the heavier 96 Rock or the "classic" rock on Z93) but whoever answered the phone at whatever station I called was really quite dismissive and claimed no idea what the hell I was talking about. Maybe he wasn't just being a dick. (Maybe it was only being played on WREK at the time?) It would be a few more months before "Loser" really broke through to number 1 on the alt charts.

Does anyone even listen to terrestrial radio anymore?
