John Bonham

Twenty-nine years ago today we lost one of the greatest drummers to ever grace rock'n'roll. I can't help but wonder what Led Zeppelin could/would have given us if John Bonham hadn't died before his time. They had already given us great, great, amazing music, but I still believe the best was yet to come.

In The Nick of Time

For another half hour (well, longer if you're in Hawaii), it's John Bonham's birthday. He would have been 60 today.

I'm sure you already know my affection for John, Led Zeppelin and their music. I only wish their was a band today that could put out as many great songs as they did. We need some new music as good as the old music.

Happy Birthday, Bonzo.

Here's a fun early interview from the British telly:


And no John Bonham birthday celebration would be complete without a bit of Moby Dick:


Sorry to all of you who never got to see him play this live. It was a beautiful thing.
