Interesting tidbit: One of the members of Led Zeppelin mentioned a name and one said "that would go over like a lead balloon". Hence the name Led Zep. The name was the group that was unforming and Jimmy Page was in just before forming Zep. Jeff Beck was also in it
Anyway, the first time I heard about lead balloons was from my parents when I was a wee tyke in the late 50's.
