There's not a goddamn thing wrong with that Lemon Song clip. What's your problem, man.

Stairway to Heaven is one of my least favorite Zeppelin songs, and I am their number one fan. I know I sound like "contrarian number one fan who thinks the song everyone else likes sucks guy", but it's the truth.
Am I a hero? I really can't say. But, yes.

The cost of fresh lemons is outrageous.
Have you tried:

1) Mexican groceries, or
2) Limes?

Never buy your citrus at a honky supermarket. _Never_.

I did not say there was a problem with the clip. It was not faulty. I (effectively) said that the song stinks. It was a terrible performance and/or a not-very-good song. Purely, I did not like it. Even Shakespeare had his off days (some say "As You Like It" is his weakest work.)

To speak in the spirit of Bo Catlett in "Get Shorty" who tells the movie producer (Gene Hackman) about his works, "I've seen better film on teeth," I have my own comment: "I have heard better music made by people banging on trash cans."

I know music appreciation is generally subjective, but not in this case. You're wrong, Tdarcos.

You're wrong.

I realize you're right.
I'm glad you came to your senses because the opposite was rank insanity.

You could have screamed, for example, that I was wrong until you were blue in the face, and it would never have made it so. I am, of course, correct and no matter how much anyone were to say the opposite couldl never raise so much as a scintilla of evidence to the contrary.

The song is terrible, and I am correct, as you have realized. Anyone silly enough to go whining in the opposite direction would not make a garbage song ungarbage.
