Music quote of the day:

"Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Of yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats behind you
When movin' through Kashmir"

Led Zeppelin - "Kashmir"
