I was just wondering if any of you hardcore Who fans could shed some
light on the story of Who Named Led Zeppelin?
The basic story is that "Going down like a lead zeppelin" was a favorite
catch phrase of Moon's, and Jimmy Page decided to use it as the title
of a band. However, John Entwistle claims that the phrase may have been
Moon's, but the idea to name a band after it was all Entwistle's.
Well, which is the real story?
Thanks,
Scott
