Censored Led Zep tune in Olympic Closing Ceremonies

No, Page. Robert Plant wasn’t invited to sing.

Linky.

Sure, but Zep was just ripping off Willie Dixon who meant it in the colloquial blues sense I think. It’s either that or I have to take a long look at Howlin Wolf. :smiley:

Those officials clearly have dirty minds if they think that “inches of love” can only refer to penis size. The metaphor works just as well for either sex of singer.

Now I’m sorry I missed this.

Why didn’t someone tell him to button his jacket?

:confused:

It’s probably hard enough getting him to wear a tie that doesn’t have food stains on it. He always looks like a drunk who has stumbled in to the wrong room.

He must give his PR people nightmares :smiley:

(“Ping pong is coming home” is a reference to the Euro 1996 football tournament which was also held in England, and had the slogan “football’s coming home.”)

Someone needs to tell His Lordship the Mayor to get a new haircut. That one didn’t look good on Elton John, and it sure as hell doesn’t do Boris Jackson any favors.
