The man on the cover of Led Zeppelin’s fourth album is Lot Long (1823–1893), a Victorian-era roof thatcher from Wiltshire, England. The image was taken from a colorized photograph found by Robert Plant in an antique shop in Reading, England, which was meant to represent a contrast between old rural life and modern urban development.

Rat had a chance even after he got to Stacy's house, no parents, in her bedroom, Stacy in her bath robe... and he still blew it.

Classic all-time scene, as mentioned above a lot of the youth back then mostly dudes were all up in arms when they did play a tune from physical graffiti instead of led Zeppelin 4

Whoever figured this out is a genius. The reason why the 4th album was left untitled is the band was sick of all the bad press

she looked great in her youth when she was chubbier. She's gaunt now, not like the woman I lusted after. Obviously she was #2 in that movie behind Phoebe, but I never thought it was by much
