Except one, apparently.  I wouldn't expect a diehard Zeppelin groupie who
knows nothing but "ooh, yeah,  ooh-ooh yeah" to acknowledge or even be
aware of any distinction.  Mr. Palena, yourknowledge of other forms of
music beyond your sacred little walls is pretty limited.  Who are you to judge?

You haven't?  Look in a mirror, my friend.

I wouldn't doubt that you know this from experience.

Boy, you sure have a lot of good things to say, don't you?  Yet you have
the nerve to complain about other people posting things seriously related
to music!

To your ears, I'm sure it is.  ("Hey diddle diddle, cat and the fiddle,
piggy in the middle, do a poo-poo", as you have so eloquently done...)
