Robert's response has always been the same consistently since Zepplin broke up and I don't blame him. He's not there to discuss Page or Zepplin. The fans that are paying to see his shows now are paying to see and hear his latest material. Some may be die hard Zepplin fans, but I doubt they're there to pay some sort of homage to Zepplin. The stuff he did with Allison krause was not my cup of tea but it was well done. Dude still has a great set of pipes.
The StarTribune’s music guy (for at least 30 years) is Jon Bream.
I’m sure he’s been to every concert in this city in that time and I’m sure he’s interviewed every big name musician you can imagine.
Just last week, he recorded an interview with Plant, that he titled for the newspaper “Prickly Plant.” It was in last week’s Sunday.
Anyway, Plant doesn’t want to talk about Jimmy Paige or LZ at all.
At all.
And, I’m not upset with him, that was a loooong time ago, and he has to answer all the same questions from every city’s music critic, so I do understand... but, at the same time, Plant’s fans are essentially paying him (concerts, records, etc), so it’d be nice to have him understand a bit.
Anyway, I have not heard his latest, but my guess is it’s not that great.
