Also Led Zeppelin: Hobbits are pretty dope
Also: what if whales played drums
Is that a metaphor?
Yes, it's a little known pice of trivia actually, they were making a statement about the war
This is true. During the war the soldiers were suffering with shortages and they had low quality food. Overly filled and poor leaky lemons were rife. A lot of legs were sticky. It was Hell.
It was not a party, let me tell you. Or do a search for the ironically named "lemon party" to get the info straight from the source.
Close, but you were actually one of the lucky divisions to get even rotten lemons. Trench warfare was largely a battle of attrition and rations had to last, hot meals and fresh fruit (especially sources of vitamin c) were a luxury to be supplied with. Scurvy wasn't uncommon. Here's a bunch of cool links
Those are some cool links, thanks!
That was a reference to the Robert Johnson song Traveling Riverside Blues. Apparently Johnson might have himself taken it from a Roosevelt Sykes song.
And I mean, like, really REALLY good at pinball.
GWAR: What if we sprayed people with alien cum?
On a related note, GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert. It's really... something.
Tiny Desk concerts are a national treasure.

Everyone should go to a gwar show
I was in charge of the stage lighting in a concert they gave in Cologne, like 25 years ago.
One of my fondest memories.

I love Zep, but it’s amusing know somebody thinks they’re possibly philosophical romantics.
So many of their songs are about abandoning romantic partners. Kinda gross.
