Song 180: “Dazed and Confused” by Led Zeppelin, Part Two — “Inspiration is What You Are to Me”

For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the second part of a two-episode look at the song “Dazed and Confused” by Led Zeppelin, although this episode doesn’t get as far as Led Zeppelin’s formation, and is mostly about the intertwining session careers of John Paul Jones and (especially) Jimmy Page. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode.

Patreon backers also have a thirty-eight minute bonus episode available, on “Jim’s Blues” by P.J. Proby.

So Much For The Lynx’s Revenge Season

So Much For The Lynx’s Revenge Season

When the Minnesota Lynx’s season ended, their head coach was in a hotel room and their best player left the court on wheels. That’s one explanation for their surprising semifinal loss to the Phoenix Mercury. Game 4 was set up by the chaotic ending of Game 3, in which Alyssa Thomas made a critical steal as she collided with Napheesa Collier, and a furious head coach Cheryl Reeve ran up on the refs, shouting while her staff held her back.

Let’s Check in With HP Employee Imran Chaudhri

Allison Johnson, The Verge:

Remember the Humane AI pin? And that serious-as-a-heart-attack TED talk about the future of computing? Well, Qualcomm featured Chaudhri in its Snapdragon Summit keynote today, where he’s talking less about lasers you wear on your shirt and more about the amazing battery life on the OmniBook 5 series. How it started, how it’s going, etc. etc.

Johnson’s link above goes directly to Chaudhri’s bit in Qualcomm’s keynote. Looks like a hostage video.

Crystal Palace Liverpooled Liverpool

Omaha Cops Draw Guns On Local Hero Terence Crawford

Omaha Cops Draw Guns On Local Hero Terence Crawford

Nobody other than maybe Warren Buffett has brought more prestige and cash to Omaha than Terence “Bud” Crawford of late. Bet the local cops wouldn’t pull their guns on Buffett. 

After midnight on Sunday, Omaha police pulled over Crawford’s vehicle and, with at least one weapon pointed at the champ’s face, ordered him and all occupants out of the car. “I thought we were getting ready to lose our lives,” Crawford’s security chief, Qasim Shabazz Asad, told Omaha station WOWT-TV. According to Asad, who was sitting in the passenger seat when the encounter began, he and Crawford were handcuffed until the cops checked his license and realized who he was.
