Question about "Stairway to Heaven"
antipos...@my-deja.com
Let me ask you something; when you were younger, say around 15 or so,
and you heard the song
"Stairway to Heaven," which, if any, of the following feelings did it
evoke in you. Why do you think that you reacted that way? I'm just
curious to see your responses.
a. a feeling of awe and a belief that this was the greatest song ever
b. a feeling of religiousity
c. thinking that "Stairway to Heaven" was way overrated
d. feeling sexually aroused
e. pass the doobie this way
f. boredom
g. other (explain)
Personally I love the song.

It made me think of death and going to heaven in a very strange way.
The song actually sounded to me like it was a song by SATAN, that
"teased" me in many ways. I don't know why I felt that - it just
sounded like that. I was too young to decipher the lyrics to the song,
anyhow, plus my limited knowledge of English didn't help, either :)

"There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven"
Shouldn't it be glistens, and wouldn't it scan better (and be more
ironic) as :
"There's a lady who's knows, all that glistens is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven"
I was talking to Robert Plant a few weeks ago, but forgot to mention it.

None of the above, and maybe that's just because I never did any drugs. I just
always thought it was a good (but hardly the GREATEST EVER) song. Still like
it. Also like the Gilligan's Island version. :-)

No, it was an ok song, but nothing more special than the other rock and
roll
they were playing on the radio.

Nope. (And I didn't hear about that "play it backwards" stuff until
mid-80's)

Not really.

Nope. Nothing "sexy" about the song, really.

No Stairway! Denied!
I think it stands the test of time, a great tune, and one I'll never grow
tired of if I avoid the overplay on classic rock FM stations.

I forgot all about that! Jonathan Brandmeier used to play it on "The Loop"
occasionally when I still lived out there, a few bleems ago. Never heard it
anywhere else. Man, what a funny tune! Hook me up with that; I'd love to
hear it again.

Stairway to Heaven was ruined for me by being overplayed.
It was the last song played at my high school graduation formal (in 1991!)
which annoyed me; and then later at one of my jobs, one of the guys made a
tape, which he played all the time, of Stairway To Heaven repeated over and
over on one side of the tape.
I have disowned the song, permanently...

it. My friend's sister (also 16) brought it home and we listened to the
whole thing. At the time, I thought Stairway was OK, but I thought some of
the other songs were better (and I still do). "Black Dog" and "Misty
Mountain Hop" absolutely rip it up compared to Stairway, which to me sounds
a bit pompus--like Plant was trying too hard to write a classic English
poem-song. I do like the song and think it is a classic, but when I want to
hear introspective Zep songs, I usually put on Led Zepplin III.

I did get sick of it quickly and resented it, cuz they always played it
as the last song at our dances, and I hardly ever got to dance to
it. :-( (Don't worry, I got over it.)
Larry's first reaction was that it was a slight departure for Zep. And
it was one of his favs, until the overplay disease set in. But he is
not tired of it, like with Pink Floyd. (Sorry to those PF fans, & he
doesn't mean Puff n Stuff.) Anyway, what 70s DJ would turn down a seven
minute plus song?

I had friends who thought it was like God spoke to them. I just didn't get
it. I loved Led Zep I & II, but by the time this came out I just wasn't
connecting to them. They were big amongst my friends who did goofballs. Ever
notice the way certain groups appeal to people who choose certain chemicals?
Just another one of those thoughts that occassionally have crossed my mind.

I'll take g, Tom.
I liked it, but never understood why it was considered "Best Rock Song Ever"
or whatever in so many polls. It's definitely one of the best arrangements
Zep ever pulled off, though, with the soft start slowly getting louder and
more intense.

Seriously, my brother turned me on to Zep when I was about 8, and the
rest is history. I'm sure he was very attracted to some interesting
chemicals at the time though.

they thought everybody else at the concert was deaf and were trying to
communicate to the rest of the crowd that it was a Rock 'n' Roll show (in
case the crowd didn't know where they were)? The wrestler Jimmy "Superfly"
Snuka said that that was supposed to be a polynesian sign language sign that
meant I Love You (the thumb was extended also). Other people (reactionary
anti-rock people said it was an emulation of the devils horns. I think it
was one of those bullshit mass hysteria things that just catch on when one
moron trying his damnedest to be part of the "cool, hip" crowd does
something he sees someone else do. And it caught on. Then everybody said
let's do this cool thing. I try not to get caught up in things. Especially
those that cant be explained-source wise.

aleen the karaoke queen
getting up to look at the record and would notice that the needle was
only HALF WAY through the song! perhaps it's the fact that i have
probably heard this song more times than my NATIONAL ANTHEM, and yes it
does improve as the song speeds up, the second "part" of the song
definitely improves it a small notch but i really truly feel that this
is one of zeppelin's weaker songs. listen to misty mountain hop, or
(my all time favourite) "battle of evermore", "over the hills and far
away" "bron yr aur stomp" "good times bad time", (ok ok i'll stop!!!!)
if you want to hear really top notch zeppelin songs. i mean this song
isn't quite as bad as their "hats off to roy harper" but it's
definitely ranked low in my books! it just draaaaaaaaaaaaags on and on
and on....

Makes a lot of sense...uppers are usually for people who love fast
music, while downers are for those who are into slow, and introspective
music.
If you're into NOTHING, you'd like *both* types, like me :-) Just give
me some Marlboro Lights menthol or Salem Lights and I'm happy!

Hey Dawna (I spelled it right this time! lol), caffiene won't do when
listening to "Stairway to Heaven"! Caffiene (damn, I think that's
spelled wrong!) is good when you're listening to UPBEAT music, or doing
aerobics :)
At any rate, if you were depressed and into some major "downers" back
when "Stairway to Heaven" was popular, it was the bomb! LOL.
I hate that song now, though :) Probably because the only drugs I
consume nowadays are nicotine and caffeine!

called them back them were/are Barbiturates i.e. Tuinals, Seconals (reds),
Yellowjackets (phenobarbital), Nembutal, 'Ludes (Quaaludes-methaquaalone),
etc. Things that would knock you down hard and fast ...sort of like Mike
Tyson when he's not biting. And when the downheads couldn't get those they
went for Vees (Valium-Diazepam) in massive quantities. Unfortunately when
the government in the late '70s forced doctors and pharmacies to
quintuplicate perscriptions and for them to be red flagged, and doctors and
pharmacies reviewed when too many controlled substances passed through their
cabinets, the goofball freaks went to heroin because of it's easy
availability, and low price. They did this "until we can get some
goofballs". Unfortunately, the goofball supply dried up completely. And
these friends of mine became "total" junkies. Just a little history I

I went to a few of those anti-rock seminars that the more extreme right-wing
preachers would give every once in a while. One in particular latched onto
the line about "two paths you can go down, but in the long run there's still
time to change the road you're on" as being straight from the mouth of Satan

I remember in like the early 80's, when cable was just hittin' big, there
was a young preacher, with an afro like Epstein's, that would come on & JUST
RAIL against Zepp, Sabbath, & a few other metal groups from then. I think
his name was something like Pastor Gary or so. It was hilarious to be all
high late at nite flipping channels & catchin' his act!! He said Stairway
had hidden messages when you played it backwards. I thought "damn how sad a
life is that, that he will go thru the process of playing a selected song
BACKWARDS!!!" Very funny show tho.

See, aren't you glad there are people out there willing to do your thinking
for you?
The funniest part of the seminar was when they played footage of Mick
Fleetwood playing a solo on electronic drum pads he'd attached to himself.
The preacher used it to attack "voodoo" and, I'm not kidding here,
"acceptance of other cultures and religions".

I didn't get it and I was never into the hard rock bands of the time so
its appeal was lost on me. I was always a piano/keyboards gal and
not a guitar groupie, Led Zep slipped right under my radar.

And therein lies the diff for me, we used to get stoned and listen to
"Bookends" or "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme" by Simon
and Garfunkel (except for the last track, "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night",
that was way too freaky). I ran with the slow crowd :-)

Being a rock star is pointless. It's garbage.
It's the most self-indulgent thing I can think of.

I'm telling you, that album (Bookends) was a revelation to me. That part
of the song (Save the Life of My Child, for those playing along at home)
was way cool whether I was stoned or not! We popped the tape in when
my ex and I drove to New York City for a wild weekend before my son was
born and I had to hold back the tears when we got to "America" and we both
started "counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike". But the other one,
"Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" was really *our* album and I always
remember the good times with him when I listen to it (on CD, record AND tape
now). Alas, we reached our own Dangling Conversation phase far too early
("Like a poem poorly written, we are verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme,
in syncopated time").
One of my ex's finest gifts to me (apart from my son) was a ticket to see them
in concert at the Skydome a few years ago ('93). For those unfamiliar with the
setup, there's a hotel inside the stadium that has windows looking over the
stage or baseball field depending on the event. You can always look up and
see people crowded around the windows during a game, the place is sold
out for the big series which we won't be playing this year :-( Anyway, the hotel
was packed for the concert, of course, and I was looking around at the various
faces in the crowd during "Scarborough Fair", just floating on my own little cloud.
I glanced up at the hotel windows to catch a couple dancing together in their
hotel room, their outlines silhoutted against the window by the lamplight behind
them. Just one round of the many tears of joy I shed that night, these people
just looked so in love and I could tell they felt completely alone in that packed
stadium. I almost felt like a Peeping Tom watching them dance in the dark.
Sorry I rambled there, what was my point? Oh yeah, S&G rock, Buddy! :-)
Cheers,
TD

are at least entertained.
My story is - I'm just an expressive guy and I can't help it.
Just this morning, I was at a stop light and had my windows down
(weather here is awesome this week - BTW) and "Emotional Rescue" -
Rolling Stones came on the radio, and there I go again, I couldn't help
but OOH, OOH-OOH, OOH-OOH, OOH and the people in the cars next to me
were staring at me like I was out of my mind. Screw em'. Who wants to
be such a drag. I hate when people suppress themselves in order to not
look there out of there mind.
If Sly and the Family have taught me anything - it's to be happy and
enjoy the skin I'm in.
Naz Reyes
Amen to that, man!!! :-)
I, too, love to sing while I'm driving and I don't give a damn who's
looking - it they think I'm out of my mind, then that's THEIR problem!
LOL!
Nate, you're the man!!! :-)

Right on, dude! You know, I used to want the floor to just open up and
swallow me whole when my Mum would start singing along to the Musak
playing in the grocery store. And she's a professional, keep in mind, so
it's not like she was singing *badly*, she was just belting her lungs out
totally oblivious to the stares of the crowd. As a youngster and a teenager
who hated people looking at me this was incredibly annoying, I must have
turned ten shades of red. Now, at 36, I'm doing my part to continue this
family legacy and I'm sure my son is thrilled to death :-) Actually, with his
autism, *he's* usually singing right along with me, especially if they're
playing anything from "The Lion King"! The circle continues and I hope
I'm around to teach my grandkids to open up their mouths and sing with
all their hearts and souls just like good old Nana would do.
Cheers,
TD

Hey, BTW! Does Red Neckert still do his thing on KIX country, or how 'bout
"The Shower Stall Singers" on FOX 97.
My guess is that Atl. is now a "sophisticated international city" HA!!! and
they don't do such things anymore.

BTW - A hip, hip, hooray for Sandy's suggestion of Polcaris restaurant
in Boston.
People! You must go! This lady is no lie on good eats!
They had to practically wheel me out on a wheelbarrow I ate so much.
I told the taxi driver that I don't care if I have to go circles around
this city. FIND IT!!!!! and thus we did. Taxis are so cheap, for the
city that is - that hell, who gives a crap. ME WANT FOOD! Just feed
the old beast.
LOVE YA' BABYCAKES!!!!

beautiful women, with exquisite tastes, come to age gracefully. God if only
I could have met you'se earlier in my life. I guess meeting you now will
just have to do.

Well, what do you expect Buddy? You have to search the world over to find
women of this rare class. You won't find them just down the block whether it's
in Brooklyn or Gadsden, Alabama. Perhaps that's our problem with finding
"real" women...

LOL...it's perfectly okay with me. I see women in other cars at traffic lights
all the time singing along with the radio. I watch them to see if they notice
me so I can flirt with 'em. It's a nice opening...
Sandy
>in Boston.
Oh, you made it here Nate?? Glad you liked Polcaris, other wise I would be
dead meat! : ) How was the rest of your visit here?

LOL!! You thought the taxies were cheap?? Yikes! But I guess when you think
of the alternative (driving around yourself) it's worth every penny!

No harm done :) As a matter of fact, I love "hawkin' a couple of those

"I've searched the world over and I thought I found true love but you met
