So we're going to go back to the 1930s, which was the golden age of Zeppelins.
Now, a Zeppelin is a large, rigid airship.
It is not to be confused with a blimp, which is basically just like a big balloon.
Think of it as like a blimp is soft and a Zeppelin has structure.
So in aviation terms, a Zeppelin is like an erect structure.
Blimp, if you erect blimp.
Well, they're used for all kinds of things that they can like.
They started out in World War One.
They were actually used for bombing missions and reconnaissance.
But it was all it all originated in Germany by a German inventor, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the late 1800s.
I love this.
You just brought up such a cool little nugget of music history, which is that I believe it was Keith Moon from The Who who was making fun of Jimmy Page.
Because Jimmy Page put this band together and they were originally called the New Yardbirds, I think.
It's a terrible name.
And then Keith Moon on The Who was like, yeah, you guys will go down like a lead balloon.
And so Jimmy Page just thought that was hilarious and decided to call the band Led Zeppelin.
Roger Daltrey, yeah.
He's probably wearing Hocus.
