      He isn't saying that Free Bird is a Led Zeppelin song. He is saying the energy from the crowd is tantamount to a Led Zeppelin concert, or when Lynyrd Skynyrd would play Free Bird.
      It's a common example of drifting thoughts. It's not hard to understand 😅.

    Stephen famously doesn't like many of his books as movies, and for sure there have been some clunkers, but "Misery", "The Green Mile", "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Shining" stand out as some of the better ones. That last one he especially hated, I guess because it deviated from the book so much, but it has passed the test of time and is still considered one of the best horror movies of all time.
