The greatest song of all
time. No noe
will write anything like this EVER.
The satanic messages rumors are fake, Robert Plant said:
"I find that it's sort of an
American pastime. There is what they call the in America the
College Circuit, where people can lecture on Clearasil,
AIDS, homosexuality and the like and get paid $5,000 a night. Somebody decided that poor, defenseless band like Styx and E.L.O., who are indefensible anyway, and masters of No Comment like Led Zeppelin would be good, easy
meat for a university tour. I think it just goes to show how
sad the world is, that people actually allow themselves to become audiences to other people with nothing better to do. To me it's very
sad, because "Stairway To Heaven" was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. It's really
sad. the first
time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. I was absolutely drained all day. I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that. There are a lot of people who are making money there, and if that's the way they need to do it, then do it without my lyrics. I cherish them far too much."
