Fireplace

Fireplace room in airplane of Led Zeppelin "The Starship", 1977

The Starship was a Boeing 720 airliner. Never heard of the 720? Me neither. It was a shortened version of the Boeing 707.

The Starship was created by singer Bobby Sherman and his manager Ward Sylvester. Never heard of either of them before, either, which is kind of weird. I mean Sherman must have had some hit songs back in the day and I was definitely listening to the radio back then, so what gives? Well, his big hit, Little Woman, is like dullsville, man.

The masses are always hungry for something new. Offer them something to consume and if nothing else better is available, they will gobble it up. Of course, 'better' is in the eye of the beholder, and most beholders have no taste at all, they'll just gobble up what everyone else is gobbling.
