Caesar:
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry "Caesar!" Speak, Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.
Caesar:
What man is that?
Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

 

[ve9aa]

You must be retired, eh?

 

[skeets]

Yep, and your point, if I may be so bold to ask?

It could be that you are old enough to have had Shakespeare as required reading in school.
I do not think my kids read any.

 

[skeets]

Yes I read Billy boy,, never understood much of it though, I have also read Animal Farm, The Yellow River, A Brave New World, 1984, Huck Finn and bunches when I was in school.
It is a sad, kids to day have no idea what Moby Dick was about or even heard of it let alone the Old Man and The Sea. Ahhh well such is life, as we move boldly into the future forgetting the past, and are doomed to repeat it

I saw Big John play it in 74 in NYC.
Oh i also read the "Bard" and Moby Dick as well as a whole bunch more. Then I heard Zepplin, that's where it starts to get a bit hazy.... If you know what I mean.

Gee, I thought Big John was the hero in a Johnny Cash song, Big Bad John...

Moby Dick sounds like a title of a video that might be X rated...

Caeser...sounds like a decsion I need to make when ordering a hoagie...

Man...I must be really out of date! Lovin' it though...

A naive farm boy got into the restaurant biz as a youngster....learned A LOT of things. Some I shouldn't talk about here.

Knew Ronnie Dio (Black Sabbath), David Feinstein (Elf, The Rods - - Tughill Tom might remember them).

Liked Zepplin....still do...ALWAYS had music on in the kitchen....

Geez - - you guys are killing me....who the hell is John?!?!?

Stairway to Heaven was the first song at our wedding. The four piece Polka band said if I could get the sheet music they would rock it out. Turns out they had a hard core side and loved it. Accordion player brought his organ and drummer brought the big drum set to the reception.
Ticked off grand parents on both sides of the aisle !
I still vibrate the china cabinet when this song comes on.

How many parents yelled about the reading of " A Clockwork Orange" in the high school.

John Bonham

Ahhh....learn something new everyday!

Know that song well, but didn't know the solo well. Probably heard an abbreviated version on FM radio in the kitchen or truck over the years too. Never had any 8-tracks or cassettes of LZ...

Ford - - - 8-tracks and cassettes were albums on tapes. You could play them in your vehicle...

Thanks, guys! Greatly appreciated!

Hey now, I DO know about cassettes

I missed the bus a few times trying to record a song from the radio.

Dang, yall making me feel old

We've gotten totally away from Et Tu Brute....so I'll toss this in...

After losing our dog Boxer Ollie New Year's Day, we're looking to get another Boxer puppy in the next year or so.

Already have a name picked - - - Geddy.

After Gary "Geddy" Lee of Rush. Thought first about Neil, as in drummer Neil Pert that passed away recently, but Geddy had a better ring to it....

Heard on the radio Stairway to Heaven is one of the greatest songs in Rock history. Don't disagree.

Hearing it covered by a Polka Band at your wedding was pretty cool!

We had Steve Southworth and the Rockabilly Rays at our wedding. They were great, but didn't cover LZ much. They were great at weddings.

After I (the groom) fixed the beer draft system at the venue, they even kept the old farts dancing!

Now, I'd be one of the old farts.....
