Re: Plant wanting Zep to continue?

[Steve Thomson <steve.thomson@xxxxxx>]

Yes now that you mention it, I do recall reading that somewhere. But again, as 
Tangerineman pointed out, we can all agree Plant is rather fond of the first 
person. :) It seems presumptuous of him to think that Zeppelin would stop or 
end 
should he decide to go solo. It would certainly have been different, but the 
instrumental part of the band would have been intact (had Bonzo lived). The 
rhythm 
section was without equal and Jimmy seemed to be cleaning up his bad habits 
until 
Bonzo passed away. 

Of course we can speculate all we want but only these guys really know what 
went 
down or what their own intentions were. A good example is the report that the 
new 
interview quotes Page as expressing surprise about JPJ's consideration of 
leaving 
Zeppelin for a choirmaster job. 

What I find especially maddening about Robert is this feeling that he throws 
these 
comments out there for his own amusement knowing full well that hardcore fans 
hang 
on his every word. He's been playing this game for years and eventually it deep 
sixes his credibility, as least it certainly did so for me.
