That's funny! I'll say it makes one appreciate Plants vocals when you hear this guy try to crank out the high parts.

Wow MKP! More power to you all! Deadbeat siblings are maddening in the hour of need. Keep doing the right thing, you will never regret it.

Great question. I have no idea. The timing of this, so long after its release, is part of what makes this so interesting.

This is brilliant.

Wow that's just crazy! I hope you can get effective repairs soon! I hope the rest of your week is far less eventful! Happy Hump day to the rest of you!

I figured as much as this is not a new story (other than it appears to be heading to a jury trial now), I'm sure a study could be made on this throughout the last 60 years. I don't have a strong opinion either way, it just caught my eye that such a legendary band is going to be brought to a trial over this after this many years. I don't think it will matter to fans one way or another. I think duder hit the nail on the head that they did a better job with it and that's what will matter to most. Most, but not if you're the child of Randy California and you saw an interview where your father said they never bothered to even thank him or credit him for the intro. Plant and Page claim they never played with Spirit, Spirit members testified, "ih yes you did." Depending on who is more credible on that I think is going to determine how people react to the outcome. Well said and I agree! I'm thinking in terms of the masses for the statement. The law, in theory will only consider the law (*cough MM exemption!*) not public opinion. If it were my dads song I'd want a cut. I understand the differences of opinion on whether or not it's copied, like I said I don't personally feel that strongly one way or another on this case.

I've read this story on a few sites today. I know it's not a new discussion, but it appears to be going to trial now. I'm guessing a settlement will come of it, but it's at least an interesting topic. I think there are similarities, but I'm not an attorney and I don't know how "close" a song has to be legally - I guess that's where the jury comes in. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/04/12/led-zeppelin-members-face-trial-in-stairway-to-heaven-copyright-infringement-lawsuit/

Random, but after a large earthquake we had in January the usgs released this video of what a local "high rise" looked liked during the 7.1 quake. They've equipped the building with accelerometers to measure the amount of movement. I think it's remarkable. https://www.adn.com/article/20160405/how-anchorages-atwood-building-shook-during-january-s-71-quake

I'll say it again, you can never move.

Confession.

So, Hope, AR is just a jump, a hop and a skip for you! hop, skip, jump, a quick flight and a reasonable paddle... Just look out of curiosity and I can get from Anchorage to Texarkana, AR in just over in a reasonable 15 hours and 14m (5 hrs of layovers) with two stops. Not bad! So what is your excuse???? I DROVE 16 hours one way last year!!! Busted!

From Alaska?!

Braves lose a relative heartbreaker blowing a 9th inning lead. It's gonna be a long year anyway, hate to start out that way. Still glad baseball is back! It's an even year Jerol - should be the Giants year!

Moved here with my parents at age 14. Came back after college, it's become home (25 years later...) I am a financial advisor, for fun I chase my 3 yo and 1 yo boys around everywhere. Thankfully they LOVE music and I am able to make use of the Klipsch hobby er.. habit with them. When we travel it's about a 3 1/2 hr flight to Seattle, then the trip starts. It IS a long way from just about every where!

Praying! I hope you get a chance to go down there and see her soon as well. That has to be so tough to be apart. How old is she?

Happy Monday! Enjoying cup #2 this morning and it's opening day! I may or may not have the Braves game streaming in during the afternoon at work... Hope you are all well! I'm pretty jealous of all the Hope talk, one day. I think I would learn more about sound and personalities in one weekend than I could in a lifetime elsewhere. LOVE the pic of the old radio a few pages back! I also love their version of eye candy standing next to it. My great grandmother would probably raise an eyebrow if she saw my grandfather looking at that. Enjoy the week!

Ohhh man Giordano's is a Chicago area only thing. That bordered on a religious experience. It's only epic fresh, but my oh my... We've ordered some frozen for new years up here in Alaska, but it's just not the same.

Still good morning from the far northwest. It's my Friday this week and I hope you all have a great Easter Weekend. Sorry to hear of Valerie Klipsch's passing.

I'm sorry to hear this, she must have been a special woman. RIP Valerie.

Yeah - sad to hear this one. RIP Joe, he was a great ambassador for the game.

Dug up an Oldie - but I really wish these were still available!!

Wow, sorry to hear that - that's a stunning turn during an otherwise normal day.

Oh my! We must have a picture of the BOSS! EASY! We can't unsee these things!
