He had a Whole Lotta Love in his heart. We feel his death is What Is and What Should Never Be. The Lemon Song was always one of his favorites (it kept him company on those lonely nights). In fact, he almost changed his name to Moby Dick after a particularly long session. His death is truly a Heartbreaker. His housekeeper (whom we all suspect caused the divorce) was a real Living Loving Maid, but after all, She’s Just a Woman. I guess, in the end, he just had to Ramble On. When the Lord says Bring It On Home He means it!

This is the kind of thing that happens when it’s been a long time since you’ve rock ‘n rolled.

His Livin Lovin Maid came in and found him dead on the killing floor, belly up like Moby Dick, surrounded by family, friends, and a whole lotta love. That’s some major stretching to get Led Zep II song titles into the story. Incidentally, “Thank You” is the song that my lovely bride walked down the aisle to, and after 25 years, to me she is still the only one!
