The phrase "...away from the ego"...Anon-<br /><br />The phrase "...away from the ego" was taken from a quote out of Christopher Knowles' "Secret History of Rock 'N Roll" and was not devised by the author of this blog. <br /><br />I did not mean to imply that Led Zep appeared as a backing band on Donovan's work outside of a handful of singles. <br /><br />It deepens on who you ask, but at various times all members of Led Zeppelin aside from Robert Plant were credited as appearing on "Hurdy Gurdy Man." Jimmy Page appeared as a session musician on several other Donovan tracks as did JPJ. I'm not sure if Bonham appeared on anything other than "Hurdy..." and this appearance is disputed.<br /><br />While I suppose I could have worded things better, a collaboration between Donovan and future Led Zeppelin members is very well documented. <br /><br /><br />-RecluseReclusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510266038933358020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891114758163865289.post-49654232338498253672016-04-08T18:01:59.014-04:002016-04-08T18:01:59.014-04:00One other thing...Led Zeppelin was never Donovan&#...One other thing...Led Zeppelin was never Donovan's backing band.

The self-conscious identity structure we think of as the ego was a much later development, not really found much prior to the eighteenth or nineteenth century. Rather convincing evidence for this can pretty easily be seen in the development of English poetry, although, like the ego itself, this certainly can't be proven in hard-science terms. However, it is easy to see that in Homer, for example, the awareness of self we are familiar with is conspicuously and entirely absent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
