       ...see now this is what I mean!!! You probably bought that book when
       the ink was still wet,read it from cover to cover six times,and now
       that you're a star on oh-so-sophisticated net.music you deride it.Every-
       body loves the Big Blimp in the closet,but when they've got nothing
       better to do they post pieces making fun of it's creator!!!...

          ...your problem is that you won't let the dude take a new turn in
          his career!!! He's not gonna plug the Les Paul into 300,000 watts
          and flatten a stadium full of people anymore,and you can't deal
          with this!!! Say it like it is;you don't like what Page has done
          since the demise of Bonham...

          ...that's the axe he made famous by performing "Stairway to Heaven"
          on live.(In fact Gibson custom-made it for that reason.)I've heard
          live versions of STH and it didn't sound the same.He can get two 
          different sounds out of the same axe!!!...

         ...you see,I read net.bizarre,and frankly Paul,I FEEL SORRY FOR
         YOU!! Your missin' an important piece!!! Folks,we're talkin' about
         a guy who tried to cheese his hunger away by cooking "Combos" in
         a 7-11 micro-wave,and then got pissed when they exploded!!I rest
         my case...
