Title: Led Zeppelin and Philosophy Condition: New Subtitle: All Will Be Revealed EAN: 9780812696721 ISBN: 9780812696721 Publisher: Open Court Publishing Co ,U.S. Format: Paperback Type: Paperback Release Date: 10/12/2009 Description: Led Zeppelin, who bestrode the world of rock like a colossus, have continually grown in popularity and influence since their official winding up in 1980. They exasperated critics and eluded classification, synthesizing blues, rock, folk, rockabilly, funk, classical, country, Indian, and Arabic techniques. They performed the alchemical trick of transmuting base led into gold--and platinum--and diamond. They did what they would, finding wisdom through personal excess and artistic self-discipline. "Not a coda to Zeppelin's legacy, but a blast of metaphysical graffiti as relevant today as the first time we heard the opening chords of 'Stairway to Heaven'. From Kant to 'Kashmir', from Freud to 'Fool in the Rain', Calef and company explore Zeppelin's music in an introspective, suggestive manner worthy of both a blistering Page solo and a bawdy Bonham stomp." --BRANDON W. FORBES, co-editor of Radiohead and Philosophy "Led Zeppelin's albums, personalities, live performances, art work, myths, influences, and more, all come under the microscope. Compelling insights and observations add more depth to a subject that continues to thrill and inspire.Each chapter is driven by an unquenchable thirst for Zeppelin knowledge and pulls the reader deeper into the world of Led Zeppelin ..." --DAVE LEWIS, editor, Tight But Loose Language: English Country/Region of Manufacture: US Item Height: 228mm Item Length: 152mm Item Weight: 453g Contributor: Scott Calef (Edited by) Author: Scott Calef Genre: Society & Culture Book Series: Popular Culture and Philosophy Topic: Music Dance & Theatre, Philosophy & Spirituality Release Year: 2009
