      Although not myself a special fan of Led Zepplin 'Stairway to Heaven' was a beautiful song. However, I always interpreted it as a record of somebody observing another in the throes of a drug ( heroin) induced death.
      As it happens, when I was younger, I knew my neighbour who was about 80 (WW11 vet of North Africa and Italy) who was pre scripted morphine for pain in the year or so before he died. I used to buy him expensive bottles of Sotch when I went to see my mother every year.
      I doubt he every drank any.

I was 18 then, i didn't realise the implications, then it was just a cool song from that era, now years later, i understand, i've been there, done that. come out the other side, scared by the experience, but out at the minute, the 70's tune were not meaningless, they held a message
