Regarding this comment by Jean Lorrah:
"Too bad the fan chosen to interview them was not one of us, but she was very 
much _like_ one of us, well spoken, knowledgeable--and apparently, at age 29, 
right at the upper age limit MTV allows."

One of us? Sorry to disappoint you, but there are hundreds of thousands of 
Zeppelin fans around the world. Many are probably more well spoken and 
knowledgeable than any of 'you' will ever be.  And many that are not - who 
cares! I've been a Zeppelin fanatic for 20 years and only accidentally stumbled 
across this mailing list a few months ago while surfing the net. If I did not 
have a computer would that make me a lesser Ledhead because I'm not on the FBO. 
I have friends that are not this list, yet would blow you away with "their 
knoweldege and collection" of Zeppelin. Personally, I'm glad MTV choose a 
non-FBO member to do the interview, it may make some of you folks realize that 
Zeppelin does exist beyond the almighty FBO.

We have one common bond - we enjoy the music of Led Zeppelin and like to share 
our opinions and thoughts about the band. Let's not put ourselves on a pedestal 
and think we're better or know more than people we don't know at all.

Sorry for the sermon - but this one got to me.
Til next time,
Mark

Pretty nice interview with P/P on MTV's Fanatic tonight.  Too bad the fan
chosen to interview them was not one of us, but she was very much _like_ one
of us, well spoken, knowledgeable--and apparently, at age 29, right at the
upper age limit MTV allows.

Jimmy talked a lot.  If he sees the interview, perhaps he'll take note that
he looks much better in a button shirt than a T-shirt.  Good closeups of
him--the kind you usually only get of Robert.  You could actually _see_ his
_eyes_!  Yep--they are hazel.

And Robert had a psychic moment with the interviewer--unless he was tipped
off ahead of time, he picked up that "In the Light" had special meaning for her.

When Robert mentioned wanting to go to Cuba (presumably one place he hasn't
performed), what the heck did she mean by, "You've had a love implant"???
The only thing I know of that could be so described, Robert definitely
doesn't need!

For what it was, good program--contrast with the shallowness of the girl
interviewing the basketball player in the other half of the show.  Cute,
sweet, lively, but no depth.

Robert _is_ single--has been for many years now.  However, it is becoming
apparent that, for all the proposals he has supposedly uttered (always
reported by other people, never by Robert) since his divorce, he is not
going to remarry any time soon.  Robert is one restless man; when asked
recently what one thing he could not live without, he replied, "My
passport."  That's not a man pining to settle down.

Too late--J.R. already did it.  One of his most hilarious countdowns.
