    My parents were in Liverpool when I was born... passing by the stadium when my mother started going into labour... A young man who had just signed for Liverpool the year before, Kenny Dalglish, happened to be passing by as my mum went into labour... He had experience delivering babies from his time in Scotland, due to the lack of hospitals, or other advanced institutions there- so he helped during my birth.

    He wrapped me in a Liverpool flag as I was born... hence, I was born a red.


    Actually... the above is actually a load of bollocks! <ok>
    I was born in Cheshire... in my elementary school age 4 or 5 the standard question asked of anyone was "Red or Blue" (Liverpool fan or Everton fan)... you weren't really given an option to support anyone else. I picked Liverpool for two reasons.

    1) I preferred the colour red.
    2) I had heard of Liverpool and knew it was close by. I had never heard of Everton and didn't know where the city of Everton was! <whistle>

    Actually 3rd reason... most of the kids were red- so there was peer pressure there too I suppose! <laugh>


    Strangely enough- I didn't really start following all that closely until in my teens- wasn't much of a sports fan before then- could name a handful of players but couldn't tell you who was winning the league... I was more of an F1 fan. College age I was half Football half F1 in my following.

    Around about 2003 I started transitioning to being more of a Football fan than an F1 fan. Now- I try to watch every Liverpool game but maybe only watch one F1 race a season.

    It's only really the last decade or so that I've been a "strong fan" as opposed to just someone who casually watches now and then.

    You sure you're not thinking of "Marrakesh(sic) Express"?:)

    I don't recall any mention of Morocco in "Kashmir". It's just full of meandering hippy lyrics as far as I remember.

    That was Crosby, Stills and Nash! Nothing to do with Led Zepplin

    Kids today might think it means Liverpool or City since Everton aren't really much of a team anymore! :bandit:

    Kashmir is a Zeppelin song mate, unless you're suggesting they covered the song which I wasn't aware of.

    I think he was suggesting Marrakesh Express is a Crosby, Stills and Nash song <whistle> ....however I'm pretty sure Saint wasn't suggesting it was a Zep song......and I'm also pretty sure there's a thread for this **** <laugh>

    Nothing specific according to this copy-and-paste job:

    Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
    with stars to fill my dream
    I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been
    To sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen
    who talk of days for which they sit and wait
    When all will be revealed

    Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
    Sounds caress my ear
    Though not a word I heard could I relate
    The story was quite clear, whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

    Oooh, oh, baby, I've been flyin' No, yeah
    Mama cares, ain't no denyin'
    Oh, oooh yes, I've been flyin'
    My mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no

    Oh, all I see turns to brown as the sun burns the ground
    And my eyes fill with sand as I scan this wasted land
    Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I've been, ah-ah, ah-ah

    Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
    like thoughts inside a dream
    who hid the path that led me to that place
    with yellow desert screen
    My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
    sure as the dust that blows high in June
    when movin' through Kashmir

    Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
    Across the sea of years
    with no provision but an open face along the straits of fear
    Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-hoh, oh, ohh

    Whoa, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
    When I see, when I see the way you stay, yeah-eah
    Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down, oh
    Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down, so down
    Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
    Oh, oh, come on, come on, oh, let me take you there
    Let me take you there, woo, yeah-yeah, woo, yeah-yeah
    Let me take you there
    let me take you there
