led motherfuckin' zeppelin

Post by saw » November 5th, 2018, 6:58 pm

led zeppelin
played at the civic center
1969
they were first up
no one really knew that much about them
as I recall, my friends came
to see VF
when they were done
half the arena went home
they knew
nothing afterward
was going to come anywhere close
jimmy page, robert plant
I was 20 years old
page was 24
motherfucker I had a great coming of age

sitting here racking my brain, trying to remember where I was in 1969.
From November 22, 1962, to sometime in the summer of 1972 I was barely conscious
I had a great coming of age when I was twenty, that would make it 1960 and JFK had just been elected. And I was living a good life
Then crazy mike died in April and later JFK was murdered
I used to read a lot of Freud, in fact, I was raised on the holy trinity of ego, id, and superego, I walked around for a decade living in my head. then dr. Hoffmann's magic bullet set me free in 1972,
never saw led zeppelin play, but the music is acid etched down in my brain somewhere. 8)

crazy times
music, politics
long hair
flowers in rifle butts
lsd, marijuana
turbulence
poor vanilla fudge
they got blown out
of the building
saw the stones in the same venue
in B'mo
and the animals
poor vanilla fudge
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Crazt times'
short hair
politics

poor bobby, martin jr, and George
68 saw George Wallace at the civic center B'more
went to see what I could see
Bobby dead, Martin too, and George shot but lived long enough to repent his ignorance

drifted through the sixties to the soundtrack of Woodstock
I think it was the music that saved me from a fate worse than death.

reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
