A CRICKET SANG AND SET THE SUN STEVEWEISS PROFESSIONAL

Within seconds, I know it as a staple of classic-rock radioГўВЂВ”an evergreen of easy-riding highway rockГўВЂВ”and the pop snob in me groans. So it's fitting that as I fill up my rental compact at a Twentynine Palms gas station, I hear the booming strains of a rock song approaching. On a white-hot morning in Twentynine PalmsГўВЂВ”the Mojave desert town name-checked on Robert Plant's 1993 album Fate of NationsГўВЂВ”I can see a number of the strangely shaped Joshua trees that lend their name to the nearby national park, the same place where, on Cap Rock in 1969, Gram Parsons dropped acid with Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg.Д®ver since Parsons OD'd and died in Joshua Tree itselfГўВЂВ”twenty-five miles east along Route 62ГўВЂВ”the whole area has become one of California's holy rock sites. Led Zeppelin was unobtainable and unattainable, and we very seldom talked about it. In Through the Out Door: ГўВЂВњThe Biggest Unknown Group in the World ГўВЂВ¦ГўВЂВќ Includes bibliographical references and index. Led Zeppelin : the oral history of the world's greatest rock band/Barney Hoskyns. For more information about Wiley products, visit us at Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data:
