Transcript:
An L.A. jury will decide whether Led Zeplin ripped off the spirit song "Taurus" for the opening of "stairway to Heaven." Hillary Clinton: "Stairway" is played 20x/day on classic rock. Which is why we love it. Who cares who came up with the original idea? Bernie Sanders: While Hillary was listening to Donovan, spirit was rocking my world! "Twelve dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" is worth Zep's whole Oeuvre! Donald Trump: Both. Not me. So: Losers

Yeah, Zeppelin stole the tune. But isn’t this lawsuit about 45 years too late?

12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus really is a blast.
Taurus’s songwriter did not sue Zep. His greedy heirs did, indeed, 45 years too late.

I used to like “Stairway To Heaven.” At least I did the first 5000 times I heard it.

Mr. Rall, nice job. Although, you really should have worked Screamin’ Jay Hawkins into the riff.

Donald has a point. You can’t see it because of how he combs his hair.
