True to its title, the documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin did a pretty fine job revealing how Misters Page, Jones, Plant, and Bonham in fact became a four-piece band named Led Zeppelin. So much so that I would like to one day be able to say about myself that I also became Led Zeppelin. But you know, metaphorically. That is to say, I hope that my personal transformation will prove to be sufficiently cinematic. Maybe it already has been! I don’t need there to be an actual movie made about my life story, but if there is, I hope it’s as cool and as edifying as Becoming Led Zeppelin.
In conclusion, Zeppelin is still one of my favorite bands. I could tell by how much I was tapping my toes in rhythm.
Grade: Still a Whole Lotta Love After All These Years
