Hey, an entry!

I've been a busy little foxmonkey, what with working and writing and stuff like that. I've been completely boring, is the truth.

But!

Read something for scot_ty last night, and there's something else in my mailbox that I need to look at. She's going to return the favor as soon as I get my scrambled thoughts together. Writing! You've got to love it, or commit suicide.

Heard a *kick-ass* version of What Is and What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin on my way home this afternoon. If you're not familiar with the song (or you're unsure which one it is), you can check out the lyrics AND listen to a jazzed-up Muzak version of the tune at the same time, here! I went for the lyrics so when the tune started, it totally surprised me and completely and absolutely cracked me up. This, my friends, is the joy of music. How can you not love it?

So, it's a beautiful Friday and I'm on way home and I'm listening to a live version of this tune and it sounds recent, like older Robert Plant (or someone else) singing lead, but what kills me was the chorus - sounded a lot like Tina Turner belting it out. I'm on crack and it was probably just Robert Plant, but holy *jeebus* it sounded good. If it wasn't Tina Turner they should have asked her to do it!

Of course the DJ didn't clue me in after the thing was finished.

If anyone out there knows the version I'm talking about, please clue me in! And yes, love me some Led Zeppelin.

Speaking of (possible) Led Zep covers, I also completely love Duran Duran's cover of Thank You. And Big Head Todd and the Monsters' version of Tangerine? Makes me all fluttery and smiley. Good, good stuff.

And now off to my first love, the written word...
