Be transformed:
Heart - Battle of Evermore

Apparently Heart's encore performance has basically been Zeppelin covers for some time now.

Saw them this past summer.  They covered Immigrant Song and Stairway to Heaven for the encore. 

100% awesome.

I am the result of 13.75 ± 0.13 billion years of random chance. Now that I exist I see no reason to start planning and organizing everything in my life.

Random dumb luck got me here, random dumb luck will get me to where I'm going.

There is no reason to,
Be ashamed of poetry. It,
Is natural. But you should,
Still do it in private,
And wash your hands afterward.
