Percy doesn't want to make his old mates richer?

[Steve Thomson <zeppelin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was reading posts about the upcoming Zeppelin releases on an music 
industry forum known as The Velvet Rope (www.velvetrope.com) this 
evening and saw a point I hadn't really thought of before or have seen 
discussed.

Could it be that the real reason Robert Plant is the one blocking Led 
Zeppelin reunions is because he allegedly sold his songwriting royalies 
to Page Jones and the Bonham estate so going on tour and performing just 
Led Zeppelin numbers makes them a lot more money than him?

Of course the most obvious big hole one could punch in this is the fact 
that Plant's been performing a healthy dose of Zeppelin material live 
ever since 1988 (except for the Priory of Brion fling). On the other 
hand, that same fact also demolishes his constant refrain of wanting to 
try new things (other than different middle section, the 2007 SS version 
of WLL as heard on Youtube is one of the most letter-perfect live 
versions since the original studio recording on II).

Anyway, food for thought, chatter and mindless speculation. :)
