There had been abuse in my family, but it was mostly musical in nature. I don't want any of this lovers lament crap I want something peppy something happy something up-tem. I want something peppy, something up temple, I want something snappy. Rock music has always had an edge, but what happened when musicians decided to stage a spiritual rebellion?

I'm Greg Kott.

And I'm Jim Deregadas.

We dive into rock and roll and the occult for this Halloween edition of Sound Opinion.

And we'll review the new release from the

always bewitching Stevie Nix. That's all coming up on Sound Opinions.

This is Sound Opinions and later in the show we'll review the eighth studio album from

Stevie Nix who of course also is a member of Fleetwood Mac.

Greg, this is a collection of new versions of some old songs, including a few that are about that fabled relationship

between Nick and Lindsay Buckingham.

He was talking about that when he was on our show.

Yes, when Lindsay Buckingham was on the show, he acknowledged that even though the relationship has been dead for

over 30 years it really hasn't been there there's still a spark there they're still

singing songs to each other on stage it just doesn't go away but before we talk

about that new album we've got some music news Oh, Greg if that guitar arpeggio sounds familiar you may be thinking it's Led Zeppelin's

stairway to heaven it is familiar but it's not stairway to heaven it's the 1968

instrumental by the band's spirit torus which is at the center of a lawsuit between the

heirs of Spirit Bandleader Randy California, aka Randy Wolf, and Led Zeppelin. Recently in court in Philadelphia the judge

refused to throw the case out of court he's going to let it go forward and he

refused to grant Led Zeppelin's request that the venue be changed to the West Coast, not Philadelphia.

So this thing is moving through the courts an astounding 43 years after Zeppelin recorded and

released Stairway to Heaven.
