Led Zeppelin is back!
Talk about a flashback to high school! ( Okay, really just grade nine.. then I moved onto the Ramones, Clash.. then onto The Smiths and Depeche Mode.)

The rockers have announced a reunion show for November in London.  It’s part of a tribute to Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun.
And how crazy are we to remember those days of tight jeans.. black leather jackets.. and big hair?
The BBC says 20 million people tried to access the site for a chance to get tickets on the first day Led Zeppelin’s reunion was announced this week.
The site averaged 80,000 users a minute and now the site’s service provider is working around the clock to keep the website moving and it’s trying to find a larger server.

Wikipedia says “Stairway To Heaven” is one of the most requested and most played song ever.. and depending on who you were dancing with..that was the longest or shortest song to be played at the end of every high school dance!

For the record.. it is eight minutes and one second long.
