I read this a couple of times years ago. Highly entertaining.

The title (in case some aren’t aware) comes from a reply Jimmy Page gave when asked what defines the essence of Led Zeppelin; he said “it’s the power, the mystery and the hammer of the gods”. Cool reply I always thought. Other sources say it’s taken from a line in “the immigrant song” - “the hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands”.
Of course. "Hammer of the gods" is inextricably linked to Led Zeppelin.

A reference to Mjölnir, I assume.

Yes, I downloaded most of their albums.

But at work I don't have access to that.
I have access to my entire music library on my phone through the iCloud. I think Google offers something similar.

Well the book is about Zed Zeppelin, although the authenticity and accuracy of the stories has always disputed by the band.

A learning-disabled brother?

I said I read the book. I was talking about the phrase.

I read that and have it in my library. Excellent book.
The band has consistently disputed the accuracy of the book’s accounts. It’s a good read nevertheless.
