ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD
Sodom & Gomorrah in a suitcase.
July 1, 1977
FLASH: April 19, 1977, Cincinnati, Ohio: Led Zeppelin, a British rock group, again brought violence in its wake when about 1,000 fans tried to 'gate crash a Zeppelin show in Cincinnati last night. Police arrested 100 youths during the mini-riot, which was punctuated by thrown bottles and fights.
“Just as I was approaching some semblance of slumber, there was a dull thud, a louder crash, and suddenly the wall between my room and the next was lying in pieces on the floor.* Needless to say, I was awake. Shit, I knew this was going to happen, I muttered to the intruder. ‘Yeah, but did you know it would be the Prince of Peace?’ inquired Robert Plant gleefully.”
