There's Jimmy but no Robert

[Kevin Rades <krades@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone - this is just something that has bothered me after I read
about the upcoming benefit concert that Jimmy and the Black Crowes (and
others...) will be doing later this month.  Where is Robert?  It is
great to see that Page is already motivated to hit the stage again after
the P/P tour went on hiatus (or was cancelled - depends on how you look
at it) and no one can question that this concert will help raise money
for a worthy charity.  So again - where is Robert?  No report that I
have seen has mentioned that Robert will be joining Jimmy and everyone
else at the concert so I am making the assumption that he will not
perform and/or attend.  Why not?  Seems like a nice chance to get back
on stage - perform with some friends (Chris Robinson, Tyler, Perry,
etc....) all in the name of raising money for a charity (ala Live Aid in
'85).  It is hard to think of reasons why he should not attend.  The
"I'm on Holiday and need some rest and relaxation" thing is getting kind
of old.  Making it to a 1 night gig that was the partial creation of
Page shouldn't be that hard of a committment to keep.

any thoughts?
