   The song did develop from a live Jam, the bridge reference is not spoken by JP, but it is a poke at the composition because there is no bridge in the song. Most songs have a bridge between an A section and a B or C section. It's almost as if the band felt it would be something that a casual listener would say upon hearing the track, "Where's the fucking bridge," or to clean it up for the recording, "Where's that confounded bridge."

   yes it's a parody of James Brown. And I always though that it was Jimmy Page asking where the music was for the bridge of the song.. and they recorded him asking where it was.. or something like that.. hahaha

   It's a parody of James Browns' musical style and political importance back in the 60's and 70's.

   "where's that confounded bridge"
   I heard somewhere there was a drug treatment center called "the bridge".

   This was supposed to be a dance, but it was too fast for actual dancing. If you listen to the live version of dazed and confused medley, at one point plant says "do the crunge!", like it was a dance. I think it also came from a jam session of some sort.
