Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, (co-starring Elmer Fudd,) the 1941 Chuck Jones directed, Elmer's Pet Rabbit, (This cartoon has first appearance of Bugs Bunny's name.):
There are at least three allusions to movie stars. A sign in the shop window mentions Rabbit Taylor, a reference to Robert Taylor. Bugs Bunny does a brief imitation of Katharine Hepburn. Later, he quotes Groucho Marx. (Of course, you know this means war!)
It's hard to believe but 50 years ago today, Led Zeppelin released their eponymously named debut album, Led Zeppelin, which shouldn't be a surprise as all their albums are called, Led Zeppelin (but that's another story ....) The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the release of one of the most significant debuts of an LP (that once again wasn't recognized at the time.) So why don't we all sit back and give this head banging classic another listen
When Led Zeppelin was first released, Rolling Stone - less than two years old at the time - gave the album a poor review. Although the writer, John Mendelsohn, admitted that Jimmy Page was an “extraordinary proficient blues guitarist,” he also called him “a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs.” But by 2003, they’d changed their tune, placing the LP at No. 29 in their top 500 albums of all time.
Demand Euphoria!
