@iceco666 @ryenarussillo According to Rod and Jeff he was. So nope is not quite nope.

@BobSpitzNYC @ryenarussillo Rod Stewart was 15 at a session with Jeff Beck wtf? Nope.

@Stevo4747 @penguinusa The legend is vast -- and complicated. Separating the music from the behavior is tricky but well worth the trip. Glad you're enjoying the book.
English
The #music is only part of the legend: #LedZeppelin is also the story of how the 60s became the 70s, of how playing clubs became playing stadiums, of how innocence became decadence. @BobSpitzNYC @PenguinUSA amzn.to/3do8TTh #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #rock #rockandroll

This will do. Nice job, @capitalweather @Starbucks and @BobSpitzNYC for combining to make the perfect morning here in Maryland.

So glad you enjoyed the book. And what a great soundtrack to go with it.

Weekend reading… The legendary @ledzeppelin paved (steamrolled) the way for so many others; Their music will be with us for many generations to come. Thank you @BobSpitzNYC for your fabulous look inside the band’s history & innovations. Hard to read but impossible to put down.

@ElenaLatici Wasn't aware Dylan was a sculptor. I should have paid more attention.
English
Bob Dylan's paintings and sculptures are stunning. I love the sculptures done with iron. If you can't afford them (I certainly can't) the could inspire you to create your own. Mixing iron and crystal could be beautiful.

@AndyRichter Just be thankful this isn't an ABBA documentary. Imagine what your head would be like!

First my book "The Beatles," now "Led Zeppelin." Critics are calling them the "single most comprehensive." I'm thrilled that the astute @charlesrcross thinks so.

@tinasusman Wish Freddie Molina could narrate all my books. What a voice!
English
@BobSpitzNYC The shortest longest read—this book flies by, and Alfred Molina’s voice in the audio version is perfect.
English
@MaxMcKinley4 @tinasusman Yeah, Freddie Molina really hit it out of the park with his Liverpool accent and love of the whole story.
English
@tinasusman @BobSpitzNYC Oh shit! Alfred Molina narrates the audio?!
Time for a second copy.
I just re-read this after your interview on Maron @BobSpitzNYC in prep for the film.
It really, truly is brilliant.🙏

@offcentervoice @kjzzphoenix It was entirely my pleasure. Always wonderful to delve into the music.
English
Only good times—no bad times—in talking with @BobSpitzNYC on @kjzzphoenix about his new book, Led Zeppelin: The Biography.

@JayZotos @marcmaron So great to see them enjoying each other and making music. It showed a lot of what I learned about how their interactions and camaraderie created that incredible music.
English
@BobSpitzNYC @marcmaron Read your book, really enjoyed it. What’s your takeaway from this Peter Jackson doc - does it change any of your views/assumptions?
English
Jimmy's story takes us right through the years that changed everything. Glad you liked it.

Couldn't be prouder that "Dearie," my Julia Child biography, served as a basis for this love story to food and feminism, #JULIAMovie, with the ideal directors, @Betsywest and @FilmmakerJulie. latimes.com/entertainment-…

@BobSpitzNYC Sir, I have just read the prologue to “Led Zeppelin…”. It may be the greatest intro to a Rock Biography ever! I thank you!
