Jerry felt in a small measure the tremendous weight of sin that was placed on Jesus Christ at the cross, and his heart ached. He resolved anew to help young Christians turn this country upside down for Christ.”
--The Book of Jerry Falwell, by Susan Friend Harding, 2000, page 120.
Now, this quote is interesting all on its own, but I have to make a few comments. First, Jerry Falwell was at a Zeppelin concert!? What was he doing there, and what did he think he'd see but a bunch of American kids "sinning?"
Second, had I been old enough at the time, I think I probably would have thoroughly enjoyed participating in some of those "filthy acts." I doubt, however, that Falwell actually witnessed every possible "filthy act." Perhaps Falwell witnessed some heavy petting, maybe there actually were a couple or two actully doing it on the floor of the Seattle Colliseum. Yet, I doubt that Falwell witnessed felching, Slavic style, tea-bagging, or the filthy Sanchez. I think he's exagerating when he says he saw every "filthy act imaginable." Either that or I'm a little more imaginative than Falwell.
Third, “discordant!” The Hammer of the Gods discordant? I think not. This right here proves to me that Falwell either a) took too much LSD at the Jesus meeting beforehand, or b) lied about seeing the band. And if Falwell did get to see Led Zeppelin in 1975 at the Seattle Colliseum, whereas I, a diehard Zeppelin fan was too young at the time, it only proves that if God does exist, He has a sense of humor.
