BLIMP EXPLAINED

so we get a lot of bizarre ramblings on the band Led Zeppelin and the song Stairway to Heaven.

BUT.

let's get around that.

1.     the feather symbol comes originally from the Robin Hood days, and it means that you're an ancestor of the orphans that lived outside of [within the outskirts, actually] Loxly Estate in then Nottingham.  when Marian and Robin went into hiding, they were adopted by these "orphans" [kids that survived the sackings and banded], and thus made their sign, the feather used on an arrow.

2.     the 3 circles, are made when the members go to a secret pub, and the vessel [mug] is placed on the counter in this pattern, to keep track of how many times the drink is brought up to the lips.  on the fourth time, the pattern is started again.  thus both the dream state and the spirit is kept from wandering to the fourth corner of the room, where it will inevitably get lost.

3.     the 4 circles are made on the bar counter as well, but each time the edge is wiped away, to show both a bravery to explore the room's foundations, and an intentional "edge" or "bent" to build and structure from the ground, up.  finally the fourth circle is placed to form the roof.  with the roof comes a small safety.

4.     the "name" was passed [notably] from the expert bard and friend of Robin.  and the directions and origin were made plain when the English Channel was crossed.  This of course since they might have been discovered.  word out is that this was the "sign" carved into the living space of the very ship that made this crossing.

AS FOR THE SONG:

it is of course about Elizabeth the II, in the hopes that she understands what a wonderful thing it was for her ancestors to agree upon the Magna Carta.  and the proof is simple as well.  there is an old "English" tale that says, if there is no one in the forest to hear a tree fall, what sound does it make?  and in the song, Mr. Plant gives the answer to this riddle [in case anyone was actually listening], when he says, "does anybody remember laughter"?  which is of course is the sound that is made when a tree falls with no one there to hear it.  yes we remember laughter, Mr. uh Plant?  :)  -msi
