RE: Perspective on Plant

[Kelly Penley <one_zep_hed1970@xxxxxxxxx>]

    HARE!, HARE! Well said Ledhead. You mirror the comment
I made about some here actually being able to call
themselves Zeppelin fans, but yet at the same time diggin'
in hard on the former lead singer of the same.
    And yes, as far as the *boys* diggin' at each other
goes, I like to akin it to siblings in a family. Brothers
most often fight amongst themselves too even though each
would probably just about give his life for the other, if
need be. I ,myself, am an only child, but I saw my cousins
(brothers) fighting on more than one occasion, and I loved
them more than anything at the time, but I never felt the
need to choose sides. Nor do I when it comes to the
ex-members of my favorite band.
    Just a Ripple in the Pond,
                            Kelly
