Note to Jimmy Plage: with today's better copyright laws, taking that much specifi-
cally of someone else's song (it's like Led Zep were doing an impression of Wil-
liamson's cover of a Dixon tune before and after their jam) isn't an homage till
you put proper credit on and send (big Led Zep) royalty money. Before that, it's
like someone stealing your car and the robber calling it an homage to how much
they liked your taste in cars.
