From that Page got the band name Music/LedZeppelin, though Moon was technically right: the initial {{Supergroup}} lineup of Led Zeppelin did not work out.

**"A Quick One, While He's Away" is this for Pete Townshend. He initially wrote it on a whim as a light-hearted story about affairs and a love triangle. But years later, he started seeing it as a metaphor for the sexual abuse he suffered as a child and that he subconsciously wrote it as a way to cope. Because of this, the song is not played live anymore
