This is not my story, it's my wife's, from before I met her. Early 70's, California, she turns up at a friends house. There are a few people there she doesn't know; a joint is being passed around the circle. One of them puts on some music, saying "Check this out!". The music starts, and it's instrumental for a while; then, when the vocals start, wife says something like "OMG, that's Led Zeppelin!". Everyone cracks up laughing, and the host says "I guess you haven't met John before."

The guy with the music was John Paul Jones, and the song was "Stairway to Heaven", before it had hit the radio.

Also not my story, but my girlfriend's first kiss was Bono from U2 when she was a young girl. JPJ is way cooler though.
