I\u2019m writing to let you know that it\u2019s been quite insufferable to listen to him while quarantined. Given our shared appreciation for Zeppelin, I thought I should make you aware of Mr. Gergely\u2019s true opinions regarding Zep\u2019s merits as a band. So, here\u2019s a peek behind the velvet rope.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know how Pluribus likes to talk, run the show, and generally cause trouble. All that\u2019s entertaining, but it can also be absolutely infuriating. During the past week, while he was going on and on about Zeppelin not \u201cdelivering the goods,\u201d I peppered him with titles to (re)consider. As I barked out song after song, his responses were more often than not \u201coh, that\u2019s a good one\u201d or \u201c yeah, I like that one too.\u201d Since, according to EPG, most &#8217;60s American albums contained 11-12 tracks, he decided to see if he could come up with a list of his favorite 11 song titles.&nbsp;You should know that although he never thought he\u2019d be able to gather the proposed list of 11, he struggled to limit his selections. He had a considerable number of contenders that were difficult to discard. Below are the Led Zeppelin songs that E. Pluribus Gergely admitted to loving without reservations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u201cCommunication Breakdown\u201d<\/li><li>&#8220;Whole Lotta Love&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Ramble On&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Immigrant Song&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Dancing Days&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Good Times Bad Times&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Over the Hills and Far Away&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;D&#8217;yer Maker&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;What Is and What Should Never Be&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Going to California&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Misty Mountain Hop&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering, as I am, if Pluribus, the love of my life, will ever \u201clet the music be [his] master\u201d and \u201cheed the master\u2019s call.\u201d E. has a lot of explaining to do. Moderator, know that we may never, in fact, convince him of the joys of rice pudding, goat cheese, or Virginia Woolf\u2019s masterful stream-of-conscious prose (which probably explains our appreciation of the lengthier Zep workouts). That said, he obviously has some explaining to do. I ask that you utilize the power of the RTH Main Stage to address my husband\u2019s serious character flaws. To quote Robert, \u201cI smell the rain, and with it pain, and it\u2019s headed my way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I ask the rest of you to participate in this most necessary intervention.<br \/><br \/>Sincerely,<br \/>Lady Gergely<\/p>\n<nav class=\"page-links\"><strong>Pages:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/23498-2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">1<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/23498-2\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">2<\/span><\/a><\/nav>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Mr. Moderator, Your good friend and my husband, the notorious EPG, has been talking an awful lot of nonsense up here about Led Zeppelin, and giving you a really hard time.
