On 23 January 1991, John Sebastian, owner and general manager of K.L.S.K. F.M. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, played the song for twenty-four solid hours to inaugurate a format change to classic rock. It played more than two hundred times, eliciting hundreds of angry calls and letters. Police showed up with guns drawn, once after a listener reported that the deejay had apparently suffered a heart attack, later because of suspicion that — this being eight days into the Gulf War — the radio station had been taken hostage by terrorists dispatched by Zeppelin freak Saddam Hussein.
