Your association of the May Queen with Satanism was especially funny. You seem to think that any non-christian religiosity is directly tied to Satanism.

So while there are some references in Stairway to Heaven to various polytheistic practices common in the British Isles, there is nothing which remotely connects any of that to Satan worship and making that connection makes you look seriously uninformed about religions in general and your own religious beliefs in particular.

Songfacts Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin

This link probably does a better job of explaining things...

Robert Plant was/is an admitted mystic; and as this site points out (you have to actually read the whole thing) Plant was big into Anglo-Celtic mysticism which naturally flows to folks like Tolkien and Spence. As the band would partake in the occasional mind altering spin during their writing and composing, it's likely that images of Gandalf and the Lady Galadriel were on Plant and Page's minds. If you've read Tolkien's Masterpiece or paid close attention to Peter Jackson's Extended Disc Version of same, you should be familiar with the backstory of Lady Galadriel, seduced at first by the power of her ring, but saved through her Faith in Goodness. It's more likely that these ideas, either consciously or subconsciously, influenced Plant's lyrics. Also debunking the satanic theories, Plant disclosed he was despondent when false charges of satanic influences and backwards playing of the records revealing ulterior messages were slandered upon them. A regular Friday the 13th for the Rocking Crusaders. So take the Satan worship and check it with other creative, but false, conspiracy theories that get people tragically burned at the stake...

Anyways the point was as Led Zeppelin and their body of work represents the pinnacle of Hard Rock/Blues, Drew Brees' body of work represents the same next level of achievement in professional football...

Re: Drew Brees is the Led Zeppelin of the NFL

They were huge into JRR Tolkien and the like. They pulled a lot of subject matter from the books and applied it to their lyrics. There is no huge deeper meaning . Some of it is personal and open to interpretation like most other art but mainly it’s just what helped sell albums.
