John Bonham's Son On Tour Playing Led Zeppelin's ‘Physical Graffiti' Album
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - AUGUST 30: Drummer Jason Bonham of Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening ... More performs at PNC Music Pavilion on August 30, 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Jason Bonham, the son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band's Physical Graffiti album with a tour. Led Zeppelin — consisting of John Bonham, singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones — formed in 1968 and recorded such hard rock classics as 'Whole Lotta Love,' 'Black Dog,' 'Rock and Roll,' 'The Immigrant Song' and 'Stairway to Heaven.' Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 following the tragic death of John Bonham at age 32. Jason Bonham went on to follow in his father's footsteps and has played drums as a session musician and recorded and toured over the years with such bands as Foreigner and Sammy Hagar and the Circle. In addition, he played drums for a pair of Led Zeppelin reunion gigs with Plant, Page and Jones in 1988 and 2007. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's classic album Physical Graffiti, the drummer is hitting the road again with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening. Bonham began the special tours in 2010 and for this round, the band — also known as JBLZE — will play Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album in its entirety as well as some of the band's other legendary songs, ABC Audio reported. Physical Graffiti, which was released on Feb. 24, 1975, is a double-album release with 15 tracks that includes such Led Zeppelin classics as 'Custard Pie,' 'Houses of the Holy,' 'Trampled Under Foot' and 'Kashmir.' JBLZE kicked off its tour over the weekend in Wallingford, Conn., and is scheduled for 19 more dates across the U.S., wrapping up May 31 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The complete tour schedule is listed on Bonham's website. 1977: Rock band "Led Zeppelin" poses for a portrait in a field in 1977. (L-R) John Paul Jones, ...

(Photo by Michael) In a recent interview with ABC Audio, Jason Bonham said he'll continue playing JBLZE shows as long as he and the audience like what the band is doing. 'I do it for passion and the love of the music and the people that come to see it,' Bonham told ABC Audio. 'You know, once they stop coming, then we'll stop playing it, I guess.' He also told the outlet that Physical Graffiti is his favorite Led Zepplin album because, among other things, it contains the iconic tune 'Kashmir.' 'Kashmir' is a song where Led Zeppelin "went to another level," Bonham told ABC Audio. John Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening's next tour stop is Tuesday at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, N.Y.

Led Zeppelin's Mid Wales cottage could become micro nation
The owner of a Mid Wales cottage that Led Zeppelin once called home explained the motive behind his decision to turn it into a micro-nation. After declaring independence with the intention of becoming a micro-nation, the owner of Bron-Yr-Aur, an 18th century cottage on the outskirts of Machynlleth. The cottage is famous among music fans around the world for its association with the rock band Led Zeppelin. Having stayed there for a period of time in 1970, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote several songs at the cottage, some of which were directly inspired by the location. Led Zeppelin used the name of the house in the title of two songs, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp and Bron-Yr-Aur. Songs that appeared on the bands third and fourth studio albums, as well as later albums Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti, can be traced back to the cottage. Earlier this year, the cottage's current owner Scott Roe announced that he wanted to establish the area as an independent micro-nation, creating a flag, constitution and coat of arms. He added that he wants the initiative to focus on community and international projects, with the aim of having the world's highest foreign aid budget as a proportion of GDP. He said: 'The history of micro-nations either traverses either people in their bedrooms saying they have their own kingdom or others that have triggered an actual military response. Obviously we don't want to fall into either of those categories. 'The idea didn't come about overnight. It's been building for decades. In owning this house I've been in touch with a creative collective around the world and run various big art projects, which slowly brought the concept into being. 'We've had an overwhelming response from all quarters. Even the Welsh Government response was positive. It seems to be resonating with people, the idea of building a community in a different way. 'It's this piece of music history that shines a spotlight on Welsh history. So many people around the world are not aware that it's a separate country with its own culture, history and language. We've welcomed citizens who have said they might even learn Welsh as a result of joining. 'It was reported somewhere that we had 500 citizens, which honestly came as a surprise to us because we didn't count that many. But since that number is out there we've decided to make it a goal of sorts. 'It's a bit tongue in cheek but we also genuinely believe we can help both locally and internationally with a mini version of how to create a better model. A model based on well-being rather than pounds or dollars. It's as much of a social enterprise as anything else.'

Workout tunes: Sanjoy Narayan puts together a playlist to help you flex
I know this will sound sanctimonious, but the gym is my temple (there, I said it). It's a sacred space where sweat and steel forge resilience. For 28 years, I've leaned on the barbell. I'm a 65-year-old devotee still hitting the iron three to four days a week. This journey began in my late-30s, as a tentative flirtation with weights. It was, in part, a response to an early health warning, but the weights soon became a full-blown obsession. From the raw grit of 1970s classic rock to the cerebral pulse of modern jazz, I've scoured genres for the perfect sonic fuel to power my lifts. Here's how I went from punk rock deadlifts to squatting with Miles Davis — and why jazz became the ultimate soundtrack for strength-training. My lifting odyssey began at 37. In addition to my health warning, I was inspired by the musician Henry Rollins's visceral essays on weightlifting. ('The Iron never lies to you,' he writes in one. 'You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal.') His punk-rock ethos — raw, defiant, transformative — spoke to me as I navigated the chaos of midlife. I dove into punk, blasting the Black Flag album Damaged through my headphones as I tackled my first bench presses, Rise Above fuelling my fledgling grit. The Ramones' Rocket to Russia powered my early lightweight deadlifts, its relentless simplicity a match for my debutant's zeal. Punk was loud, unpolished and urgent; perfect for a beginner finding his footing in an intimidating Mumbai gym. As my commitment deepened in my 40s, so did my musical explorations. Punk's raw energy gave way to 1970s classic rock, the soundtrack of my teens. Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti became a staple, Kashmir driving my squats with its hypnotic cadence. Deep Purple's Machine Head pushed my bench sessions, Highway Star coaxing one more rep from weary muscles. These bands, with their towering riffs, turned workouts into epic clashes, making each set a tiny bit easier to tackle. For a while. I also dabbled in psychedelic rock, drawn to that genre's experimental edge. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon lent a surreal calm to warm-ups, while Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow added a trippy vibe to accessory work. But psychedelia lacked the punch required for heavy lifts. Waylon Jennings's Honky Tonk Heroes had a rugged charm for kettlebell farmer's walks (that's one kettlebell in each hand), yet country felt too mellow. I tried folk, and found that Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks suited recovery sessions, but not the demands of a PR (personal record) attempt. In the 2010s, I began to expand my playlists to include late-'80s and early-'90s gangsta rap. NWA's Straight Outta Compton hit like a sledgehammer, the raw aggression perfect for psyching up before a set. Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back brought raging fervour to my squats, Chuck D's voice slicing through the clank of plates. Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) fuelled tough pull-ups, its gritty beats and sharp lyrics egging me on. Rap's unapologetic edge mirrored the defiance I felt, pushing my body through middle-age. As I crossed into my 60s, though, my training crystallised. Compound exercises (a mix of squats, deadlifts, benches and overhead presses) became my mantra in my temple. They were frill-free exercises that build on decades of effort. With this clarity came a new soundtrack genre: jazz. I started with the masters. Miles Davis's Kind of Blue flowed through my warm-ups, its modal coolness setting a meditative tone. John Coltrane's A Love Supreme accompanied my squats, its spiritual depth echoing the focus of a heavy set. Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady brought frenetic energy to heavy deadlifts, while Ron Carter's bass lines on Speak No Evil anchored my dumbbell bench press. Jazz isn't just music; it's a conversation. Its improvisational flow syncs with my lifts, the changing notes mirroring the instinctual adjustments of a well-executed rep. A great lift, like a great solo, demands precision and freedom, discipline and daring. Modern jazz has deepened this connection. Kamasi Washington's The Epic brings cinematic grandeur to my sessions. Shabaka Hutchings's We Are Sent Here by History matches the fire of my heaviest days. Vijay Iyer's Break Stuff adds intellectual rigour to warm-ups, while André 3000's New Blue Sun offers meditative calm for cooldowns. The new British jazz scene — Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd, Ezra Collective — infuses my workouts with vibrant, relentless grooves. Why jazz? Because it's not just about adrenaline (though jazz delivers that too). Lifting has its rhythm — inhale, brace, lift, exhale — and jazz, with its syncopated pulse and unpredictable turns, mirrors that perfectly. In my mid-60s, I'm not chasing the reckless intensity of my 40s. I'm pursuing zen and the quiet power that a body can achieve. Jazz is the soundtrack for that pursuit, complex and soulful; a reminder that strength, like music, evolves. (To write in with feedback, email
