The tour bus lurches through the night, a metal cocoon of smoke and whiskey fumes. Sodium lights flicker past the windows as Robert Plant, barefoot and wild-haired, leans back with a grin. Jimmy Page scribbles furiously in a wine-stained notebook, while Bonham laughs loudly, kicking a bottle toward Robert. John Paul Jones sighs, folding his newspaper, the only anchor in their chaotic orbit. Rain begins to drum against the roof, setting a rhythm for Robert’s humming. They are gods of rock, suspended in a haze of brilliance, chasing a sound that defies the dawn.
