In a series of more than 50 interviews that span seven decades; many never before seen in print; this is the story of Led Zeppelin told by the people who knew it bestmdash;the members of the band. This book shoots down the folklore and assumptions about Jimmy Page; Robert Plant; John Paul Jones; and John Bonham; and presents the bandrsquo;s full history; from when Jimmy Page was playing skiffle to the day the band was honored by the Kennedy Center for their contribution to American and global culture. Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin captures the ideas of all of the bandrsquo;s members at the time they created classics like ldquo;Whole Lot of Love;rdquo; ldquo;Stairway to Heaven;rdquo; and ldquo;Kashmir;rdquo; but also captures the idea of the band itself as it created the music that changed popular culture.

Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Particularly recommended for art school faculty; students; and community artistsBy Midwest Book ReviewARTISTIC CITIZENSHIP: A PUBLIC VOICE FOR THE ARTS is for arts educators and professionals who want to know how to participate in civic life. Essays come from the Tisch School of Arts; from artists and scholars who explore how art and the everyday world interact; and the meaning of art in public places and everyday lives. From the unique; relatively modern idea of the individual artist apart from community to the uses of satire; this embraces all kinds of concepts and ideas. ARTISTIC CITIZENSHIP is particularly recommended for art school faculty; students; and community artists wanting to influence local; state and even national governmental agencies to support the arts.
