Little did 1st grade me, seeing the cover of Speak of the Devil, know that he was just a lovable hook slinging Beatlemaniac. Yet another occurrence of the sound in my head being way more extreme than the actual article and the actual article being so much greater than I could ever imagine. RIP Ozzy

Got Zepped at the Becoming Led Zeppelin movie over the weekend. Would like to know more about their notoriously cuddly and sweet manager Peter Grant.

Checked the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia off my list after 30+ years. You can’t take pics in the actual museum but here’s the library upstairs.

Could there be a warehouse somewhere in metro Detroit full of these things? Someone ask Tim Caldwell if he’s found them and I’ll take a Tina Turner, an Alice Cooper and a Jethro Tull pls. (from the Mar 75 issue of Circus)
