Im infuriated by the fact they are using Led Zeppelin as a central theme without actually using any of their actual songs. Hey, This sounds vaguely like "Rock and Roll!" The only thing they used was "Something Else" but thats a cover so I imagine the rights were a lot cheaper to obtain.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I loved that an episode with Ken Marino in it featured "Danny's Song"

Also, LedZeppe is not really a featured storyline to this show
