WHY do they do this?

For context this book is an account of every song in Led Zeppelin’s catalogue. Each gets several pages and contains info like which drumkit John Bonham is using in a recording or why Jonesy didn’t want a specific track on an album.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page did not travel with their women partners and kids in Morocco.

Everyone in 2018 knows this, not least because of RP and JP’s own accounts - for example Robert’s tale about driving nearly into a war zone etc. But also because they went to Rhodes via a music festival in Europe to meet up with said ‘loved ones’ - I mean putting aside Jimmy Page is clearly a ‘loved one’ seeing as Robert said ‘I love him with my whole heart’ in an 1975 interview shortly before they departed for North Africa - and has said so many times since. What the authors mean is LeGiTiMaTe LoVeD ones - het family. WHY? Why do they think they need to lie? If they are happy to record the liklihood of all sorts of meta about lyrics and speculation about recording equipment and band dynamic - why do they think they need to pretend Robert and Jimmy were not off grid together for several weeks and then wrote what is in their (the authors, but actually JP and RP for that matter) estimation a classic of deep passionate emotion about it?

Because if they weren’t with their “loved ones” they would be alone together on a trip in Morocco in the 70s and have written Achilles Last Stand about that and dat’s gay.

No but really this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this ‘mistake’ and I just really hope all these writers suck at researching. More likely thought that they’re lying on purpose for some reason.

Serious... as you said,  we all know that Jimmy & Robert  travelled alone to Morocco for weeks before meeting their partners & kids in Rhodes,when Jimmy had to leave shortly to London for tax purposes.   Achiles Last Stand  is only based in their Morocco experience then.  Jimmy has already said that, as well as Robert.  Why not acknowledge the facts?  C´mon It´s about time for writers and distracted fans to face that they lived together in many occasions of their lives and were happy with that.  Simply.  I am very thankful that they shared  their love and feelings  through inmortal, magistral songs and performances.

Walking into Clarksdale is a much underrated album.

This has been a PSA.

@tophats-n-lespauls I may be hallucinating or deaf in one ear but in the very last refrain of When the World Was Young I keep on hearing -

I saw him

I touched him

I knew him

and I started hearing it from the first listen before I even remembered that it might be a jimbert song so I wasn’t biased so to speak. It’s been eating away at me for several days now, I keep re-listening but I can’t tell it for sure. Fucking Robert. Fuck these two fuckers, they are driving us crazy on purpose.

[ledbythreads]

Yes Yes Yes - it is a male to male lyric.

@just-cur10us

Robert also does a nice line in gender not stated lyrics.

If you want to get into the jimbert lyric analysis game in Robert’s solo work and Page/ Plant you just need to click your ruby slippers/ snekskin boots and @incredifishface appears with me in her pocket 🖤
