Dov'eravate il 5 luglio 1971, mentre stava iniziando il primo e ultimo concerto in Italia dei Led Zeppelin? Non eravate ancora nati oppure la loro magia elettrica aveva stregato anche voi? Riuscivate a distinguere ogni singola sillaba dentro quel calderone ribollente di watt, adrenalina e sesso? Avevate già riciclato qualche loro strofa per rimorchiare donne-angelo, partner infedeli e amanti fugaci? Vi incontravate con gli amici per commentarle e confrontarle con altrettante poesie?

E anche secondo voi il loro canzoniere assomiglia a uno sterminato greatest hits di blues, rock o addirittura heavy metal? Ma soprattutto: è vero che il capolavoro Stairway To Heaven nasconde invocazioni a Satana? Vale la pena di leggere un libro per rispondere a tutte queste domande: in fondo un gruppo così non nascerà mai più, vero?
