Earlier this week, actor Nicolas Cage tried to explain his recent, eclectic career choices by comparing himself, in a way, to Led Zeppelin.
"I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking," he told the Huffington Post, because he’s "trying to create a kind of a cultural understanding through my muse that is part of the zeitgeist that isn't motivated by vanity or magazine covers or awards. It's more, not countercultural, but counter-critical.
"They remained intimately mysterious -- because they just went about it their own way, or against what the advice might have been or what the council might have been.
"And I admire that. And I would like to tap into more exploration of horror films and just everything that I shouldn't be doing, according to representation."
It's interesting to note that Cage's recent films have contained more and more shrieking and references to Norse mythology.

I think this is awesome . I mean when I think of Nick Cage's movie's some of them are just straight Rock n Roll like Raising Arizona and Con Air but the you have movies like Ghost Rider,and Season of the Witch which are straight heavy metal. If you want to be snobby and pontificate on the arrogance of comparing himself to the prolific greatness that is Led Zeppelin, you can go back to your playpen with the other kids who didn't want to see a sequel to anything or liked the first A7x album and think all others suck. I mean really, lighten up. We're supposed to be the cool people here. I don't think Jimmy Page feels threatened by this so why should you.
