I don’t think that you can rehash music that was born in the Fillmore East and came from a whole different set of social and emotional circumstances. The situation has changed. Let’s get real about this.

People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That’s the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There’s plenty of air around you.
ROBERT PLANT

Air Great People Rock Thing
When you’re 20 years old and you’re making points with volume and dynamism, it’s a fantastic thing to do.
