Music Weekend: USP's Favorite Led Zeppelin

"Kashmir" was released in 1975 on the album Physical Graffiti. It became a concert staple. It still rocks,  Every time it plays on the radio, US turns it up.  Written in 1973 by Robert Plant while on a seeming endless road trip through southern Morocco. The song is not about any geographical place, but an internal journey through time and space:

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails

Across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face

Along the straits of fear
