Blues/rock form dictates literalness, so it means exactly what it says, no more, no less. Sometimes a squeeze box is just an accordion.

My friend's mom refused to let him listen to that song because she thought it was about squeezing titties.

"Squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg" is a Robert Johnson line, but yeah. Also has lines from "Killing Floor" by Dixon.

Zep didn't discriminate when ripping off blues artists, no one was safe.

It is funny how older people are so butthurt about Zeppelin and the blues artists.

They really did rip off so many people, and not just blues artists, but other popular and less popular acts from the time. If I would have been around in their prime, I'd probably be more butthurt about it.

I'm cool with white dudes covering old blues artists (however weak it may be sometimes by comparison), but at least give SOME attribution. Zeppelin never did. This is one reason I love Clapton so much. He truly lived (lives) the blues and has tremendous amounts of respect for those that came before him.

I also think it is different because our generation embraces sampling.

Good point. Digitization (is that even a word?) of the music industry has helped, too.

This wasn't sampling, it was embarrassing theft. they didn't even really change anything. This isn't the Beastie Boys sampling five different songs to make it one new one. This is MC Hammer blatantly stealing Superfreak and pretending its original.

It's fricking lazy.

I think he was referring to why younger people dismiss, and/or don't care about the fact that Zeppelin were thieves. It's a highly flawed line of thinking (not Heady's, the younger people), but he's pretty accurate.
