I like the "sitting bullshit" lyric more than the one where Ed thinks America hasn't ruined North Africa

Plant wrote the lyrics in 1973 while driving through the Sahara Desert on the way to the National Festival of folklore in Morocco. Kashmir is in Southern Asia; he was nowhere near it. In Mojo magazine, September 2010, Plant explained: "'Kashmir' came from a trip Jimmy and me made down the Moroccan Atlantic coast, from Agadir down to Sidi Ifni. We were just the same as the other hippies really."
The original title was "Driving To Kashmir."
This runs 8:31. Radio stations had no problem playing it, especially after "Stairway To Heaven," which was almost as long, did so well.
Kashmir, also known as Cashmere, is a lush mountain region North of Pakistan. India and Pakistan have disputed control of the area for years. The fabric Cashmere is made from the hair of goats from the region. The area is also famous for growing poppies, from which heroin is made

Absolutely I am. I have no intention of buying a physical copy of this record.

OMG leaked lyric:

"faster than a cuddle between Bert and Ernie / comes the distant sound of people voting Bernie"

I'd prefer a listen or two before the Dolby Atmos experience.

I've already bought a downloadable copy so I'm absolutely going to listen to a leak

Also, shouts to the band for apparently doing no photo shoots for Gigaton.

I hope they haven't completely changed; I feel like they've maybe added a verse or two, given its runtime
