you mean you've never heard any of George Bush's jokes?

^ RL: LOL. I resemble that remark!

A lot of the speculation on this thread has sounded more like the latter. Of course Zeppelin has had occult influences! They were also influenced by Robert Johnson, but nobody's claiming that you can feel the supernatural power of the King of the Delta Blues if you play "The Lemon Song" backwards. James that’s borderline retarded my friend.  If you can make the leap of the possibility of a deity, why can you go an extra inch and believe that the deity talks to people? That’s like saying, “You can believe in libraries, but believing that there are books inside is another thing all together.” Robert Johnson believed in the Devils enough to sell him his soul. Is the “King of Blues” also stupid? I am starting to get the picture hear: ¾ of the world are stupid, and the three pinheads on this board are not. Gotcha.

Nice metaphor. You're right, the library thing sums up that concept perfectly. [sarcasm]

I was wishing you were just pranking us, but you're serious- you really believe in this stuff. That's too bad, in a way...I don't think you're really equipped yet for a serious debate (I don't know, or care, if it's a lack of experience or a basic incapacity), and I haven't yet seen much of a sense of humor, so...what's the point? Play your records backwards and talk to god all you want, just try to keep some basic reason when he starts telling you who must be sacrificed...

BTW: I'm neither your friend nor overly fond of the phrase 'borderline retarded'.

I'm not religious. Got it? I just have respect for religion, and do not deny that there is some sort of an unexplainable "thing". That's as specific as I can get. I just thought it was interesting is all. I suppose I'm agnostic. Hey maybe in a few years we'll all find God. It happens a lot you know. Could be something to it.

I remember Glen Hoddle finding God.

What a pass that was!
