The Sleep Pisser and Led Zepellin

My sophomore year in college 1987/88 one of my roommates, Paul from some suburb of Boston, was a loud, beer drinking Neanderthal who slept-peed (yep, he sleepwalked to the window of our third floor dorm room and peed out the window) - and he played Led Zeppelin on vinyl (DVD's had not yet been invented) all night every night to go to sleep.  On my side of the room was all U2 and our third roommate was all Stevie Nicks.  But I have to tell you as much as we didn't get along (and he had to deal with me coming out and bringing boys over) the one thing I took away from my experience with Paul is that I learned and came to love almost the entire catalogue of Led Zeppelin from hearing it in my sleep for a whole 9 months.
