Nice to Stir Things Up!!

[Mybadmamajama@xxxxxxx]

Well I promised Jeremy that I would post  about the need for a re-union but I 
had no idea just how hot of a topic that  was. The one thing for the life of 
me I can not get over is how people still  criticize the WHO for only being 
Roger and Pete for gawds sakes and was only 4  of them to start with, 2 died. 
The Grateful Dead went belly up with the death of  Garcia, what remains is 
crappy and a total useless waste of time for no one but  the remaining members 
who 
can make money (certainly not the sort they were  making towards the end, they 
were the highest grossing act in the 90s, another  generation had discovered 
them) the Allman's incredible as it may be, have been  able to continue 
without Dickie Betts nor Duane Allman, yeah Dickie's a  peckerhead, lives down 
the 
road here a piece and shows up in Coachman Park a lot  especially for the 
Charlie Daniels Xmas thing but what in the world is the  Allman Bros doing 
without 
Duane nor Dickie. I think people like Derek Trucks,  Warren Haynes etc have 
picked up fairly well and I understand Haynes is back or  will be back. That is 
outstanding his Govt Mule was one of the best power trios  ever until he lost 
Woody Allen.
I propose to the list to come up with a list  of groups that could or would 
not be able to continue should 1 of the members  got out one way or the other. 
Another prime example is Blue Oyster Cult, they  lost the Bouchard brothers in 
the early 80s, bounced back are one of the hottest  rock acts still and are 
recording GREAT music still, Heaven Forbid is an  absolute masterpeice although 
I think they released a stinker after that. BUT if  Buck Dharma went NO BOC, 
period end of question, bass players, drummers have  come and gone. I think 
even if Eric Bloom were to go that would not be it, as I  have a Buck Dharma 
Band Video and its sooo good it blows my mind. He is the  band. I do not buy 
the 
endless drivel here about respect for Bonham. We're  talking about Rock and 
Roll degenerates here not choir boys, I mean guys who  keep 16 year groupies, 
shoot dope etc etc. To turn down 100s of Millions of  Dollars not just a few 
bucks "out of respect" for well a very good rock drummer,  certainly not the 
absolute best ever. I am sorry for the Bonham nuts but there  have been guys 
that 
naturally have come up in a new age that had the advantages  of newer 
technology and of course the influences to pull off a better act. I  think 
that's a 
cool topic who can go on still with or without who. To be honest  Page/Plant 
could certainly go on and have without any other name musicians  behind them 
and 
played basically a Led Zep show. So there still are a handful of  dinosaurs 
left. But who would go down without the rest of what's left. Anyway I  enjoyed 
the re-action, Jeremy said hey, that topic is worth a couple of mentions  of 
things I got to get out of the house, here's some stuff that is left here Zep  
and Page/Plant related:

Jimmy  Page "Off the Record" radio show, Page is interviewed and music is 
played and he  talks about Led Zep, Page/Plant and middle age. Great show, 
kinda 
sends tinkles  down your spine to hear Page speak, hes so laid back, talks 
about having his  guitar taken away from him at grade school, as he just could 
not put it down  LOL!! This is very entertaining!!:
