Just getting started

You don't realize how much you miss your entire CD collection until you have a sudden and unquenchable desire to listen to Visions of Johanna but you're trapped in the middle of Ohio with no Dylan to be found. I only had 12 CDs with me, so the soundtrack of my vacation went something like this:

• Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You -- volume at 41, play twice


• Vindicated -- volume at 38, play once, eject Spider-Man 2 soundtrack


• I've Been Waiting -- volume at 25, endless repeat, switch back to Led Zeppelin

The trip did make it apparent that I listen to more Zeppelin whenever I'm in the great state of Ohio. Which isn't a bad thing, because it helped me realize that Your Time is Gonna Come is definitely in my top 5 best song beginnings. (Lyin. Cheatin. Hurtin. That's all you seem to do.) I call it a top 5, but so far only Journey's Separate Ways and Audioslave's Cochise have joined the Zeppelin on the list. I'm going to have to work on that.
