WTF?!!
so now having the cojones to actually like Plant's solo stuff, and spend 
money on tickets to go see him in concert makes people lacking in social 
conscience?  that's WAY off-base, and completely insulting to a lot of folks 
on this list....AND in the real world.

yes.  believe it or not, there are those of us who certainly do NOT 
"worship" Page, Plant, Jones, OR Bonham----we appreciate their music past 
AND present, and respect them as musicians.  and golly gee, oh my!  some of 
us even have a "social conscience".  even the ones who still appreciate Mr. 
Plant.

crikey!  first it's the months-on-end Plant bash-fest, now it's time to 
start slamming on people who have the gall to actually....gasp!...like him?  
well let me tell you sweetie, my days of being "socially conscious" started 
in the early/mid-70s, when i spent the summer on a reservation in S. Sioux 
City that any Auschwitz survivor would've recognized, continued when i got 
busted at the Pentagon for being part of a folksinging group doing the 
"peace and love" thing inside, and hasn't really stopped since.  i certainly 
don't need you or anyone else lecturing me on how to give of myself and my 
resources to my fellow living beings on this planet.  i get plenty involved, 
AND i LIKE Robert Plant.  so fuckin kick me off the planet, why doncha?!
