: :Jack's pitch to Led Zeppelin
: I remember watching "School Of Rock" and thinking, "I thought it was next to impossible to get Zeppelin songs for movies." I recalled the "Fast Times..." commentary when Cameron Crowe stated that he was probably the only one who could get a Zeppelin song in a movie. He was tight with 'em after he accompanied them on tour and wrote complimentary stuff about them for Rolling Stone back in the 70's when otherwise, RS essentially slagged them off any chance they got...
: I wonder what JB had to do for Immigrant Song....
They sent video footage of Jack and all the kids and all the extras in the final battle of the bands scene begging the Zep, en masse, to let them use the song.
