Burton Spoke Of The Existence Of What He Called The “‘Sotadic Zone,’” A Reference To The Third-century

Burton spoke of the existence of what he called the “‘Sotadic Zone,’” a reference to the third-century B.C. Greek-Egyptian poet Sotades, who wrote homoerotic poetry. (...) The Sotadic Zone encompasses not only Arab countries in Africa from “Morocco to Egypt,” (...) but also “meridional France, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece.” Inside the Sotadic zone “the Vice [homosexuality] is popular and endemic, held at the worst to be a mere peccadillo, whilst the races to the North and South of the limits here defined practise it only sporadically amid the opprobrium of their fellows who, as a rule, are physically incapable of performing the operation and look upon it with the liveliest disgust.”

Joseph A. Massad. Desiring Arabs. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 2007

Today's post is a roadie looking at Steve straight in the eyes and saying the band should wear nothing on stage.

And here's something (which I thought was similar) from his biography, happening about 5* years before GFTO:

“That's When I Started To Think That The Wisest Guy In Led Zeppelin Was John Paul Jones. Why? He Never

“That's when I started to think that the wisest guy in Led Zeppelin was John Paul Jones. Why? He never got caught in an embarrassing situation. He would always show at the very last minute for anything. You'd never even know where he was staying. He drove himself, and was independent from the rest of the band. Peter and the band were always saying, 'Where the fuck is he?' It upset them that they couldn't manipulate him. He didn't give a damn. I would say that he was the most mischievous in the band. He was the kind of person who enjoyed mind games. He might say, 'Hmmm, Jimmy seems tense, wouldn't it be funny if someone threw a firecracker at him.' And of course John Bonham would then throw the firecrackers at Jimmy. I thought Jones was brilliant.”

“You wanted to be bright, intelligent and cultured with him. He was so smart, and could have been the most vicious and dangerous of all of them; he wasn't, but he could have been. He happened to be the act, but he could have run the record company as well.”

-Excerpts From Hammer of the Gods
